A bunch of psychologists in the 60s managed to do this and obliterated a convent of nuns in LA in the process. Adam Curtis does embellish it a bit however, claiming that the small group of nuns that remained turned into radical lesbians. I've seen a paper extract that does some better research and claims that the encounter groups the psychologists just opened up an existing conflict between the nuns and the Cardinal at the time.

The big thing in the priesthood is the repression of homosexuality. Many good catholics who had homosexual attractions did their best to repress them and what better what to repress is than to take a vow of celibacy?

The attractions didn't go away though
