Pope Francis has reportedly encouraged a year-old gay man to continue to pursue a vocation to the priesthood after he was not accepted into a Catholic seminary. The Church should be open to everyone. Brother, go ahead with your vocation. The year-old from La Spezia in northern Italy reportedly told the pope about his belief he has a calling to the Catholic priesthood and how he was not accepted into seminary after revealing his sexual identity.

He also asked the Church to reconsider its prohibition on admitting homosexual people to the seminary as stated in a instruction from the Congregation for Catholic Education. If you value the news and views Catholic World Report provides, please consider donating to support our efforts.
