As you know, Catholic Priests are not allowed to marry. As part of the "vetting" process for suitability for priesthood, nuns interview prospective priests to decide if they are suited to a celebate life.

The result of this is that the nuns were inclined to select gay priests as they were, obviously, very unlikely to want to get married. As a result, it has been estimated that 30% of Catholic priests are gay - although that figure is pretty much an educated guess.
