Oh, I don’t think this requirement’s too hard to figure out. Most people looking for someone sweet, innocent and from (their warped, teenage perception of) the 1950s wants someone who’ll damage their ego with witty barbs and scholastic achievement.

I never had an actual checklist for attraction, but I’ve got to say, I like **Shot From Guns** ’s requests.

How old you are _when you marry_, I mean.

The official line, yes. But there are a lot of more liberal elements within the Church, and as has been observed, the Jesuits are notoriously pretty liberal. You may want to do some reading on [liberation theology](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_theology), for example.

Wait, isn’t being gay a choice? Let’s choose to be lesbians and go make out. I bet we could even sell tickets.
