1. What are the percentage of celibate vs. non-celibate priests?

2. Good point, but, well, obviously non-married individuals are not actually generally celibate.

3. That’s just weird.

4. I do not agree that there is no more societal onus for a Catholic priest who sleeps around than a Catholic layperson.

5. Yes, celibacy is a sexually unusual state of being if you define it to include refraining from masturbation, which the church does. It might be better to say the entire church view of sexuality is wildly divergent from actual human sexuality.
