If, and it could be, celibacy is lifted as a requirement, what then? The left wing liberals would flood the clergy and then demand women's ordination, a theological impossibility. That would tear apart the Western Church.

Narse,I think they are getting desperate. One thing this scandal has done is reveal the faces of the those who have taken advantage of their position to seduce,recruit,use and abuse children and young men.As the days pass,it becomes more and more clear that the vast number of abusers are homosexual priests and bishops.

As the actve or once active abusers are being jailed,laicized and otherwise removed from the preisthood it becomes easier to identify those that remain that are part of the "lavendar brotherhood".The ordinary catholic is beginning to take notice also,they are recognizing that that great old feel good,make everybody happy priest they liked so much is now indicted or convicted.They aare starting to connect the liturgical license,the catechetical kaka,the barren worship barns,the empty altars,the loud music with a certain type of priest,who came to wow the masses,implode the church,corrupt the children and prepare us for the enslavement.

Please,it seems to me that the pace has really picked up again. I think they have no where to hide so the trick they have pulled out of their bag is to stack the hiding place (priesthood)chock full of all the flotsam and jetsam they can find.Ex priests,rent-a-priests-married priest,single priests,heterosexxuals,homosexuals,transgendered,deacons,somebody,anybody, everybody,be a priest.I am sure they are quite pleased with this little plan,to bury themselves within the priesthood,and I bet they are in hi-panic mode.If we think there's trouble now,just wait.They make me sick as do so many of these stupid posters on this thread,to say nothing of the really wicked ones. We just need to pray and speak out and be very clear that no matter how one feels about celibacy in the long run,any catholic with an iq over room temperature is the enemy if he continues to beat the drum for relaxing the requirement.
