Pope Francis was forced to apologise in May last year for using an offensive slur during a discussion with bishops about admitting gay men into seminaries.

Sounds like you're a bit on the ace spectrum. Nothing wrong with that, but yes, most people find celibacy difficult.

For this topic, I think there's an extra layer on top of that where it's not just celibacy, it's an active denial of your sexuality, to an extent.
