You are entitled to your own opinion and in a volume like the bible I'm sure you can find chapter and verse to support it. Celebacy is a human invention, however, and the evidence that it is somehow divinely required for a priesthood is unproven to say the least.

Well proven, however, and in fact demonstrated every day is that celebacy does not attract significant numbers of well-qualified people to the priesthood. It does attract significant numbers of maladjusted people who seem unreasonable afraid of women as equals.

In the event that you are interested in the facts. Our seminaries were infiltrated by marxists,homosexuals and progressives beginning prior to WWII.It took until the late 60,s early 70,s to have them rise to positions of authority in the seminaries where they could select candicates. Those selected were "flexible" and of the same ilk as the original infiltrators or because of the "flexibility" were easily swayed by teachers who were also either originals or trained by them.

At this point most of the Chancery interviewers for vocations are women(and if anything is more dangerous than a power hungry male,its a power hungry female)and they got with the program and looked for anyone but orthodox men,who wanted to follow Christ. That is our problem. There is a book coming out this month called "Good-Bye,Good Men" by Michael Rose which is replete with the kind of information I just conveyed.
