I have got to say, I am aware that you belong to a rite that allows married priests. I belong to a rite that has celibate priests.

I am fully aware that I am not going to change your mind, nor will you change mine. My study of the WHY has convinced me that celibate priests are preferred. I do not intend to convert you, and my observations are not church law, they are my observations. If you are secure in your belief, then my observations are no threat to them. I speak from the Roman Catholic rites point of view.

“I am fully aware that I am not going to change your mind, nor will you change mine.”

It is not my intention to change your mind. Rome’s discipline regarding celibacy is 100% Rome’s call just as the discipline of ordaining married men to the priesthood is the call of the rest of The Church.
