"The truth be told, there are many men in the Catholic priesthood who are not celibate first."

Then they should not have been ordained. As a matter of fact, if what you say is true, they lied to get ordained in the first place.

As a matter of fact, if what you say is true, they lied to get ordained in the first place.

Up until the 1990s, Catholic seminaries simply did not do much in helping men discern whether they could make a commitment to celibacy.

It was just assumed that, if you wanted to be a priest, you would figure out a way to remain celibate.
