Every survey taken in the last 30 years indicates that, overwhelmingly, Catholics would support married priests.

You'll understand if, again, I don't simply take your word for it.

Assuming arguendo that it is true, it represents poor cathechesis of the faithful.

Why? Any parish that has a married deacon provides fertile ground for most Catholics to realize that it's not that much further to envision a married priest.

I will leave it to you to do a little informal survey of Catholics you know, of various age groups.

I would bet that you'll find that a large number, if not a majority, would support the ordination of married men to the priesthood.
