Well, if celibacy wasn't a requirement for priesthood, it wouldn't be such a magnet for homosexuals and pedophiles.

Someone I believe asked for a reasoned argument.
That is the most childish circular reasoning I have heard in a long time.

Eliminate celibacy, not devise a way to keep out the criminally inclined...

Brilliant!

Reminds me of the educational establishment: if not enough students become competent under their care, redefine "competency" down!

I see your thinking, but might we be confusing cause and effect?

If the Boy Scouts decided that only celibate (unmarried) guys could be scoutmasters, do you think we would end up with more gay scoutmasters, less, or the same?
