As the nation's Roman Catholic bishops gathered in Chicago Thursday for a meeting to review their sexual abuse policy, Cardinal Francis George said homosexual men should not be admitted into seminaries.

Part of the commitment is that a man is celibate when he enters seminary.

We mean no disrespect to the good Cardinal by referring to him as "Dr. Obvious." We do, however, intend a great deal of disrespect to a state of religious dialogue that requires such things to be spelled out.
