Obviously, you haven't read a word I've said. I have not addressed the subject you mention, yet you keep throwing it out there so you'll have a target you can hit.

As far as my anger at the church, you must ability that your mind reading prowess is not 100% accurate. I'm not angry at the church. I'm angry at the ignorant rhetoric one finds on this thread and the lame attempt to counter, when the ignorance is pointed out.

If your going to continue ignoring what I say and making up my position, then argue both sides and make up the replies.

From post #21:
Married priests will not destrtoy the priesthood any more than celibacy did. See how well that truned (sic) out?

I took that to be a reference to the homosexual abuse scandals, if I was wrong I apologize.

Paul repeatedly wrote of the ideal of celibacy, there is every reason to look for this ideal in our clergy. What's next after married priests? Will homosexuals in "civil unions" be agreeable? Where do we stop the descent?

If someone wants to be married and enter the clergy, there are plenty of denominations that would be happy to accept him.
