Mt 19: 11-12 Not all can accept this.

He answered, "Not all can accept [this] word, but only those to whom that is granted.

Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it."

Well I can't accept it. I wasn't made to accept it, apparently. And for those who were, kudos to them. But, to force ALL priests into celibacy is a doctrine of demons:

They should just let them marry. It won't affect their ability to minister, and in fact, it may even have a positive impact on the sheer number of cases of sexual misconduct.

Besides, making babies is fun!
