I do not think it is wrong to debate the celibacy issue. My take is that the requirement for celibacy limits the type of man who wants to enter the priesthood. No red blooded normal man, a man’s man, would be attracted in any way to the priesthood, thus you are left with the damaged, the weirdos.
“No red blooded normal man, a man’s man, would be attracted in any way to the priesthood, thus you are left with the damaged, the weirdos.”
That statement has the maturity of a hip hop rapper, claiming real men treat women as whores.
There are real men’s men, who are called to a very high level of holiness. The small percentage of homos who infiltrate, are parasitic leeches, manipulating young boys and men.

That’s not how it worked out for the Anglicans.
The liberal Catholics who are into things like abortion, ‘gay marriage’ and priestesses also invariably hate the discipline of celibacy. Not that there aren’t those who reject all those other things who also think the discipline should be changed, but the ones that do accept them ALWAYS think the discipline of celibacy should be lifted. If it was ever relaxed or altered the Catholic left would be the first ones standing on their chairs to applaud.
