re: #28 Gordon marock

The real problem is requiring priests to be ‘celibate.’

I disagree.
The problem was allowing men into the Priesthood who had sexual issues who joined with the hope that by becoming a Priest and being celibate they would be able to control their behavior.
(not referring to being gay here)
Celibacy is hard, but it is a choice that well rounded, sexually mature adults can make. They may struggle with it, but they are quite capable of keeping that vow….and if they can’t they “fall off the wagon” with an adult man or woman…not a child or a teenager.
