Father Baker said that if a man has a predominant or exclusive same-sex attraction that in itself is grounds for bishops to have "a prudent doubt regarding the candidate's suitability" for receiving the sacrament of orders.

Yes, but what about the homosexual bishops who are mandated to follow these norms?

It will be up to the Pope not to choose homosexual men for bishops in the future.

Or the heterosexual ones, like Thomas Gumbleton, who believe homosexuals should be ordained? He's very vocal about it.
