Dear onedoug,

"I can't help but think that married clergy would enhance the laity's control over their church."

From the Catholic perspective, this is a good reason to oppose a married clergy.

I agree. I shiver to think what might happen if certain individuals got more power than they are allowed now. I think that can apply to just about any if not every church.

Let's remember that the best people to have ascend to power are often shoved aside by the more ambitious.

Well met. Though it might have precluded so much recent anguish.

Everything good....
