RC Church:

“Let’s stick to an ancient out-of-date requirement called “chastity” for priests.

It won’t really mean no-sex, just no normal heterosexual married men allowed into the clergy ranks. Only abnormal men allowed.

Should work out fine. “

Ya, cuz dating Priests, Divorced Priests, Adulterous Priests, would be so much better......

These guys are NOT unchaste because they lack women!!!!!

I thought I remembered that they took the vow of “celibacy.”

I often wondered why it just covered marriage and not something a little more strong like chastity.

I may be wrong.
