One thing that bugs me about this is that the language is not strong. "Should" does not adequately replace "will" and "must", etc.

I'm glad that psychology is finally getting the criticism it deserves, but the norms need to be stated more emphatically. It's a little too fuzzy, touchy-feely. There is a level between this and outright hellfire and brimstone.

Good point on the wording...should not has wiggle room for the doubting Bishops...can not or will not is a tighter fit.

The above is only what an informed Vatican sources said.
I am pretty sure the language will be nice and clear in the completed document -- because that's what's badly needed. Disclosing the 1961 anti-homo-clergy document only to the US Bishops didn't do much good, so this time it will be made official -- IMHO.
