If celibacy was such a problem for the priesthood, why aren't priests out there raping women? If they can't control themselves because they aren't allowed to marry?
Let's deal with the REAL problem ... that some seminaries are doing a disservice to not only the priesthood but the Catholic Church by discouraging masculine men from becoming priests, while actively encourageing and supporting practicing homosexuals.
God bless.
AMEN! And let's not forget, there is a way for married men to serve the Lord in an ordained role. This is the Ordained Diaconate. These men assist the Priest at Mass, can confer the Sacraments of Baptism and Matrimony, and can take on many of the Pastoral Tasks that Parishes require of their Priests. In Parishes where there is no full time Priest, the Deacon can perform Liturgies where Scripture is read, a homily is given by the Deacon, and the Holy Eucharist is received. The Hosts are Consecrated by the Priest when he says Mass and some are held for the Liturgy the following week.
My late Father in law was a Deacon and my brother in law (sister's husband) is also a Deacon. He performs invaluable services to his Parish by conferring Sacraments, assisting at Mass, running the Religious Ed. program for the teenagers, and at one time was a Chaplain for the men working on cargo ships, etc. in the Port of Pascagoula MS. For all those men who wanted to be Priests, but also wanted to get married, this is a wonderful way to serve.
