"those (men who suffer from SSAD) that have been ordained and by the grace of God have remained celibate."

My, you will keep insisting that such things happen, won't you?

[Salvation]

Here is a quote for today. I think it applies to this thread.

Sts. Andrew Kim Taegon, Priest, Martyr, Paul Chong Hasang, Martyr and Their Companions, Martyrs (Memorial)

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Ezra 6:7-8, 12, 14-20 Psalm 122:1-5 Luke 8:19-21 Disorder in society is the result of disorder in the family. -- St Angela Merici

[Teófilo]

You quote me: "those (men who suffer from SSAD) that have been ordained and by the grace of God have remained celibate."

Then you said: My, you will keep insisting that such things happen, won't you?

Yes. My 83-old spiritual director, who lives in poverty following the unattenuated rule of the Passionists told me so. He's a man of virtue, a venerable priest, a saintly confessor, a holy man, and a spiritual father of many other bishops, priests, deacons, nuns, laymen and women, and even Protestant ministers. I choose to believe him. You, believe what you will, and may the Lord have mercy on both our souls.
