The Vatican to Police Seminaries, Root Out Homosexuals

The New York Times has the story.

I don't want to jump to conclusions, especially since I truly respect the Roman Catholic Church, but this story suggests to me that the Vatican equates homosexuality and pedophilia, which is both dishonest and irresponsible. I know that the church has addressed its sexual-abuse scandals in several other ways, but in this case the Vatican is simply pandering to homophobia to create the illusion of dealing with a serious problem.
