Thanks for pinging me on this MarMema but I'm not sure that, as an Orthodox Christian, I have much of a dog in this fight. It's an internal matter for the Roman Catholics, something for them to work out. I have some personal opinions about their situation, of course, and I imagine they are similar to or the same as yours.
It is quite evident, to me at least, that when St. Photius the Great (early 9th century), saw what was going on in the Partriarchate of the West (what we now call the Roman Catholic Church), as to clerical celibacy, he was appalled. And if he were to see what this seems to have led to 1200 years later, he'd probably say something like, "I told you so."

What exactly are you saying it led to?
