". Everyone seems to have forgotten the command to "Go forth and multiply" ""Celibacy is a heroic sacrifice for a greater good, and the church must do a much better job of explaining this to young men. "
And let us not forget this one: Go and learn what this means "I desire mercy not sacrifice" (Matt 9:13)
According to the Bible...celibacy is a gift. To make it a prerequisite to the priesthood is not only unbiblical...but against nature itself. The failure of this rule has been an open secret for centuries. If the church has the authority to make rules....they also have the authority to change them.
