This is unfortunately true, but the solution is not to increase the frequency by rendering the entire Sacrement meaningless by destroying the priesthood.

Mercifully .... these are only discussions but they give great insight into the views of prelates from other parts of the world. Some of them are quite frightening - especially those of Bishop Wabag.

I agree. I believe these ideas are the result of those modernists who are still trying to take over the church. Celibacy is not a punishment. The Eucharist is not a reward. Celibacy is a gift, both to and from the celibate. The Eucharist is available to all who are in the state of grace. It is the gift to those who present themselves in a state worthy to receive it -- like those invited to the wedding feast who are properly dressed.

Perhaps the problem is that too many, even some who are ordained, do not understand these distinctions. And if this is so, why don't they get it?
