I would be thrilled to see priests allowed to marry. I wouldn't turn to my hairdresser for advice on my carburetor, why would I turn to a priest for advice in marriage? Not everything can be fixed spirtually and by quoting scripture. Sometimes common sense derived from experience is the best there is.

I'm guessing then that you would never have a cancerous tumor removed by a surgeon who has never himself had cancer? You would never accept psychological counseling from a psychologist who had not himself been disturbed? You would not accept financial advice from a broker who was not fabulously wealthy?
