"I don't see the need for celibacy (I'm not Catholic), but even so, the current problem has more to do with inappropriate behavior (criminal also) than celibacy."

Neither, do I. No where in the Bible does it speak of celibacy. That is enough proof I need to say it isn't necessary.

You don't know the Bible very well. Tell me where it is written in Scripture that Scripture is all that is needed. Also tell me where one can find the words Trinity, Incarnation and Bible in the Bible. As for celibacy, see the following verses.

Matthew 19:12, 27-29

1 Corinthians 7:8, 32-33

These would be good for you to read, maybe for the first time, as well.

1 Corinthians 11:2

2 Thessalonians 2:15, 3:6

Since you're ignorant of where celibacy is written about in Scripture you're probably also ignorant of where fornication is written about in Scripture as well. You do know what fornication is, don't you?
