A "celibate" priesthood made up of men who are told they are "another Christ" is now and always has been just asking for trouble.

And trouble has found the RCC and the children they are supposed to be shepherding safely.

No man is "another Christ," literally or figuratively. Only evil can come from that blasphemy.

THE AMAZING GIFT OF THE PRIESTHOOD
by Father Kenneth Baker

"...Simply stated, the Catholic priest is another Christ. Through his ordination he has been granted the amazing gift of being a channel of divine grace for the eternal salvation of those he come into contact with — both in his official ministry and in his personal life..."

Blasphemy.

Pedaphilia and homosexuality is a recent plague on the Catholic Church.

The practice of celibate priesthood is from the very beginning. And it was Christ who instituted and sent the apostles forth as he was sent forth from the Father. Certainly, Christ to was called a blasphemer by the Jews for identifying himself with the Father. Your accusation is nothing new.
