Nothing I wrote advocated forcing celibacy on Eastern Rites. Neither did the original article. Eastern Churches do, however, frequently portray their discipline as the most ancient, based primarily on the Paphnutius story. I explicitly said that the tradition back to 700 was ancient and deserved respect. So what's your quarrel with what I wrote?
No quarrel at all.
It's been my observation when discussing the celibacy issue that once the argument has been made that celibacy was the norm in the very early church, then the next argument is, ipso facto, that the entire church and more specifically the eastern churches should treat that as the norm. I anticipated that, and was incorrect to do so.
If offense was given, please accept my apologies as none was intended.
