O'Brien says the church is not "hounding" homosexuals out of the priesthood, but wants to enroll seminarians who can maintain their vows of celibacy. The Vatican ordered the seminary review in response to the clergy sex abuse crisis. O'Brien says, "The same-sex attractions have gotten us into some legal problems."
