You have it wrong! In Ireland even the clergy is heterosexual, remember the Bishop of Galway and his girlfriends and children.
I know, couldn't resist tho'. Some of the best priests I ever met were Irish or Polish. Friends that went to parochial school told me about the Irish "Fadduhs" putting on the gloves and knocking the attitude out of 'em when they thought they were tough guys.
An Irish priest a friend served in the Marines with on Okinawa married a bud and his wife after "counselling" him with a whack upside his head when he was getting cold feet at the last monent. I have enormous respect for people with a vocation that live their faith.
There was a Polish priest in Ft Lauderdale whose obituary I read years ago that became a priest after making a "God get me out of this" vow as a young officer as he lay wounded at Cassino. The father was quoted as saying that while he might not be a very good priest (liked to party I guess), a promise was a promise.
