Although Christ himself surely never married it's hard...*very* hard...for me to imagine Him expecting His vicars (all of whom are very much human in *every* sense) to go their *entire* lives without the emotional,spiritual and physical companionship of a helpmate.

Add to that the fact that there are priests in the West (and elsewhere,presumably) who are loyal to Rome and have wives and children (most,I suspect,being converts from the Church of England) it doesn't shock me to the core of my being to hear of priests with children.

Yes,my views are unlike the views of some.

When Natural Affections are banned some will turn to unnatural affections. It excuses nothing though. If they’re going to break their vows why not do so with consenting adults?

My take on this is “So what?”

There are millions of children all over this country who do not know who their fathers are.

This is typical Boston Globe garbage.
