Lifelong celibacy is impractical,unnatural and,ultimately,harmful to the Church.Periodic celibacy,as practiced in Eastern Rite Churches seems good...a symbolic acknowledgment that,before God,there's a time and place for everything.

Anything more than that is a recipe for disaster,IMO.

[Notwithstanding]

Lifelong anything is impractical and unnatural.

But that does not make it ultimately harmful to the Church.

So it must be really terrible that the enitre episcopal heirarchy and all of the monastics of the Eastern Church are life long celibates.
