The Rev. Gerard McGlone, a Jesuit psychologist, is executive director at the St. John Vianney Treatment Center in Downingtown, Pa. He has said he believes some tightening of the admission process is appropriate: “I think to a certain extent the Vatican is correct in trying to weed out unhealthy expressions of the homosexual experience.” But he is also worried that tougher guidelines might backfire by encouraging gay or sexually confused priests to deceive themselves about their own orientation, which could lead to a subsequent crisis and pathology.
