Vatican is at it again

On the BBC I just saw this wonderful article: Vatican to Ban New Gay Priests.
I don't know how to react to this one.

On the one hand the rc church has a boner for vilifying homosexuals, and it's not surprising that they would do some more discrimination. And I see that they're going to overreact due to the abuse stuff, they want to come off as reacting to the terrible child abuse situation. But to blame it on homosexuality like that.

I mean, really, when straight guys are sent to prison, many resort to gay sex, 'cause they don't have access to women. Why doesn't the rc church examine some of their policies, and dogma?

Hey, here's a wacko theory...
Why so many old rc priests molesting boys? Because they're gay? Because they've been suppressing their natural impulses? Who knows. What about this - if you are born gay, and you are raised rc christian, then you will hate yourself. You will feel terrible, and ashamed. So, you look about and realize you can't get married, you have no desire in women, so - join the priesthood and get off the hook. Fast Forward 20, 30 years, you're 50 yrs old, horny, haven't had any of your needs satisfied and you snap, do something that's by all regards and rightly so considered heinous.

Seems like there could be a causal relationship there.
