Pope Francis has said that homosexuality in the clergy is a "serious matter" that "worries" him.
The comments were made in an interview about religious vocations, given to a Spanish missionary priest as part of an upcoming book.
The pontiff described homosexuality as "fashionable", and urged the clergy to observe their vow of celibacy.
Pope Francis said that the Church had to be "demanding" in choosing candidates for the priesthood.
This also applied to women who wanted to become nuns.
