Found out that a former FSSP priest who once held a rather high position in the district had petitioned to be reduced to the lay state. He had also come out of the closet and recently "married" another man.

I felt rather dismayed.

The priesthood is not therapeutic - it is not meant to be a way for those struggling with homosexual inclinations to avoid or ignore the fact that they have these inclinations. There seems to be a latent clericalism in the thinking of some who see becoming a priest as a solution. It seems appropriate to close the discernment process to those who are still struggling with chastity and their sense of "identity" or any other psychological issues.
