Puhlease!!! Celibacy is NOT the reason!!! It's an excuse.
Sinkie, we all know how much you would like to be a priest. You have that option but it would mean becoming an Eastern (probably Ukrainian) Rite priest, joining the Orthodox, or becoming a Protestant minister. You wouldn't be the first one. The one has nothing to do with the other. Christ was celibate .. end of argument. Puhlease .... stop projecting this argument! It doesn't wash.
Are the Eastern Rites overrun with homosexuals?
I wouldn't know. So far, I have only met a few of their priests, all of whom were celibate and very orthodox. But their ranks are far smaller in proportion to the Latin Rite priests. I am not familiar with the screening policies in place in their seminaries.
However, I will point out that those Maronite priests who wish to serve outside of Lebanon MUST BE CELIBATE. Married priests are not allowed to serve outside of Lebanon and I am sure there are solid reasons for this. The task of serving 'overseas' is far more demanding on a family. Today, we celebrated 'Sunday of the Deceased Priests' in the Maronite Church. In his homily, Father exposed what life is really like for a priest. While saying the Divine Liturgy and Consecrating the Divine Mysteries is the pinnacle of service, it doesn't end there. He went on at great length, to describe the hours spent in his ministry, not only to the parish but as a hospital chaplain, attending to the requests from the bishop, assisting the RC Diocese of Albany. He emphasized that it requires total personal devotion. There is no room for family in that lifestyle. It would be nothing less than greed, especially in the Latin Rite.
Christ was God, as well.
I'll stop projecting the argument when the Church admits married men to the priesthood. Not until.
