Priest Sex Guidelines

One is okay, two and you lose it:

Under the guidelines priests found to have fathered a child would not be automatically defrocked but those with two would be immediately asked to leave the Church.

Those found committing homosexual acts would be sent to a rehabilitation center run by the church, but if the offense was repeated they would be expelled at once, the guidelines said.

The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) was forced to come up with the protocol after two prominent bishops earlier this year were embroiled in sex scandals.
