When you go off the rails, it certainly isn't on little matters, is it?

I've never dissed the Pope on celibacy; I disagree with the discipline.

Mandatory celibacy is not a matter of doctrine, so Catholics are free to disagree with it. In fact, mandatory celibacy is now required only for Catholic men who become priests; Protestant converts are not required to practice celibacy.

But, things are moving in my direction, what with the Anglican dispensation and the married diaconate.
