You knew this was coming

At first, the Vatican's declaration that it will not tolerate sexually active homosexual clergy seems beside the point; heterosexual clergy can't be sexually active either. But this move bespeaks an attempt by Pope Benedict XVII to initiate a Palpatine-like purge of anyone with gay metachlorians:

In September, Vatican-directed inspectors started visiting all 229 American seminaries. Part of their mission is to seek any "evidence of homosexuality" at a time when some Catholics have put forward the highly contested premise that gay priests were more likely to be responsible for criminal behavior such as serial, same-sex molestation.
Of course, the Church's unyielding devotion to the questionable psychology which links pedophilia with homosexuality is a large part of the problem.

And the Vatican can't be too keen on this development.
