think its a great move. The celibacy requirement has been an obvious driver in the Church’s boy-abusing problem. Get rid of it.

It has NOTHING to do with iit at all...Ministers are allowed to be married and the incidencw of abuse is higher in the Protestant church, teachers, scout programs Etc...The cause of the problem is homosexuality....Period.

I agree that the problem is homosexuality. And the Catholic Church's celibacy policy is an express lane for bringing in homosexuals.

And the Catholic Church stands out foir it's long and sordid history of hushing up crimes against children and shielding their "problem" priests from deserved prison.
