Thanks for your question, W'n'W. You are as welcome as the flowers in May! IMHO, if a man doesn't have a calling to celibacy, he doesn't have a calling to the (Latin) priesthood.

Which is great. The Church needs great and holy married laymen, as well as great and holy priests. Every one of us has the vocation to be a saint.

Do the (few) married men ordained into the Catholic Priesthood not have a calling? Or do they become celibate husbands?
