81% Informative
Vatican has given the green light for gay men to become priests - as long as they remain celibate.
Vatican had not explicitly prohibited gay men from entering the priesthood in the past.
The new guidelines, approved by Italian bishops, say seminary directors should consider a priestly candidate's sexual preferences as one aspect of their personality.
Pope Francis previously called for careful screening of seminarian candidates.
