"a lack of faith, secularization, and the closing of the window onto infinity."He forgot "poor witness on the part of an emasculated priesthood", "seminaries that wreak of homosexuality and modernist thinking", and the denial of any married man who may be called to the priesthood. None of this should be left out.

I agree with everything you said in that last statement except for this line.
When Christ says to Peter "what you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and what you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" means that the will of God and Christ works through the Church, not against it. If, by the authority of the Church as given to it by Christ, the Church decides not to allow married men in the priesthood, Christ isn't going to rebel against the Church's authority - thereby undermining it - and call married men to the priesthood. Christ would change the Church first.
