Homosexual Tendencies Must be "Clearly Overcome"

The official text of the Vatican's Instruction regarding the admission of homosexuals to the seminary is here (in pdf format). The text is very similar to the unofficial translation which was released last week. After a quick perusal of the official text, there is one important difference that I caught.

Whereas the unofficial text stated that homosexual tendencies "must be overcome at least three years before ordination to the diaconate," the official text states that homosexual tendencies "must be clearly overcome at least three years before ordination to the diaconate." [Emphasis added.]

Even better.
