Let's summarize: "Clerical celibacy is wrong because men are beasts who can't control themselves. We have the word of a noted 16th century clerical horndog for that."

Teenage celibacy is wrong, too. Christians should encourage hooking up. /s

'Let's summarize: "Clerical celibacy is wrong because men are beasts who can't control themselves."

Is a man a beast if he enjoys having sex with his wife? Is it a sin if he finds satisfaction in doing so? If he finds he can work in close proximity to women without experiencing significant sexual tension because his needs are being taken care of at home does this make him a "beast who can't control" himself?

If so then I guess I am guilty, guilty, guilty.
