If it were a voluntary act, you would see many celibate Orthodox Priests and celibate congregations.

As usual, you provide not a hint of a whisper of a scintilla of evidence for this gratuitous assertion.

How does the Catholic Church force men to be celibate? I asked before, and you didn't answer.

Do they kidnap men at gunpoint and drag them to the seminary? Do they lock them up and keep them away from women? Do they use electro-shock aversion therapy on them?

You keep saying "forced celibacy," "forced celibacy," "forced celibacy," "forced celibacy," "forced celibacy," "forced celibacy," "forced celibacy"--yet you haven't provided a scintilla of detail about how this "force" is applied.

And you still haven't explained why both Jesus and St. Paul urge believers to be celibate virgins, if doing so is evil.

Your’re close, Jesus is the stumbling block and this Pope is tripping all over him by embracing social justice (Marxism, Communism) as a way to justification and salvation for the world.
He belongs to Satan.
The Catholics have a real problem here.
