Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders
Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders adalah dokumen yang diterbitkan bulan November 2005 oleh Kongregasi bagi Pendidikan Katolik, salah satu departemen tingkat tinggi Gereja Katolik Roma.
Sebagian isinya melarang ordinasi kaum pria dengan "kecenderungan homoseksual mendalam". Dokumen ini sudah dipersiapkan sepuluh tahun sebelum diterbitkan.[1] Instruksi yang tercantum di dalamnya dipandang sebagai jawaban resmi Gereja Katolik terhadap krisis "pendeta pedofil".[2] Dokumen tersebut menuai kritik karena mengklaim homoseksualitas berhubungan erat dengan pelecehan seks terhadap anak-anak.[3]

this document, while purporting to 'clarify' church teaching or 'purify' the priesthood, is really nothing more than an effort to link the criminal activity of pedophile priests with homosexuality, and to distract from the reprehensible behavior of bishops who covered up their misconduct.

Pedophile priest scandals that have hit the Catholic Church in recent years were not the “primary cause” behind the document, [ ... ] the Congregation's secretary, Monsignor Jean-Louis Brugues, told a news conference. But they helped “accelerate” the process and were “certainly a determining factor,” he said.

Officials said that the prayers were in addition to support for legal action against paedophile priests by their victims and a code adopted two years ago by the Vatican to try to ensure that men “with deep-seated homosexual tendencies” do not enter seminaries to train for the priesthood.
