Is a Homosexual Priest validly ordained?

April 25, 2004

Brother Peter or Brother Michael:

I have a question that will probably be coming up too often among the laity with the times we are in:

1) Suppose a priest has been validly ordained, but later became a homosexual after his ordination, does this automatically excommunicate him: no longer a priest? Or is he still a valid priest? Please explain.

2) Suppose a priest has been validly ordained and at the same time knew he was homosexual (entered the seminary and ordination with full knowledge and intention he is homosexual). What does this incur if  a) he practices his sexual preferences, or  b) practices "chastity"/celibacy and remains a homosexual?

Thank you and maybe you could consider briefly addressing this on your website as it has come to my attention that a lot of people are confused about this.

In Christ, Christine

Christine, the fact that a priest is a homosexual would have nothing to do with the validity of his ordination. Such a priest would be ordained validly, but would receive the Sacrament in a state of mortal sin. And once ordained validly he always remains a priest, even if he becomes a homosexual.
