“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.
Nevertheless, the Orthodox do like to dip their toes in the water of sexual continence for married clergy for they prescribe abstinence from sexual relations for a certain period before celebration of the Eucharist, do they not?
A ruling which effectively kills a daily celebration of the Eucharist such as that to which Catholics have access.
That's a shame.
Having a foot in both camps is tough.
