Why doesn’t the Pope release Priests from their vows of celibacy recognizing that sex is part of man’s fundamental being as God created him. You would attract a whole new segment of society to become Priests.
Vigilence, I totally disagree. The overwhelming percentage of priest abusers are homosexual PEDOPHILES. Allowing priests to marry will not get rid of the homosexual pedophilia problem.
The problem is not celibacy, it is homosexuality.

The protestant churches are having problems finding pastors, and they can be married.
We are living in an extremely secular post Christian era right now and married priests would not solve this problem.
