Time for the Vatican to look into the history of the early church WHEN PRIESTS COULD MARRY.

How would this paticular situation have been changed? Do you advocate homosexual marriage?

You've got to be kidding me. That post is 4 years old.

And no I do not advocate gay marriage but thanks for the personal attack. I obviously meant that allowing marriage in the priesthood would encourage non gay men to become priests and limiting the church as a haven for gays. The shortage makes the church look the other way.

IMHO Married priests (to women) active in the church and not gay would quickly blow the whistle on such behavior, and their very presence would deter it. And I don't mean ex protestant priests who have another agenda.
