“With Catholics bemoaning the dearth of priests, the easiest solution which has no moral issues attached to it is to allow a married priesthood”.

Celibacy has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Do not allow homosexual men in the seminaries and the sex abuse problem is solved. And by the way most protestant clergy that are involved in sex abuse are homosexuals. Why don’t you start commenting on all the sex abuse cases involving protestant pastors and let Catholics worry about the Catholic Church?

If homosexuals were routed out of the priesthood, we'd probably have a lot more straight men headed in. No straight man, normally, wants to hang with gay men. Culturally, they very little in common as well as having a disgust of pedophilia... Probably get a lot more choir masters in the protestants churches if they let straight guys to do the job. Protestants let THAT become a fag industry.

And of course, none of them would LIE to get in, now would they?

When someone can come up with a fool proof way of keeping them out, the Catholic church might be able to convince someone that they are doing just that.

Until then, it's just damage control because while they're claiming they're trying to keep them out, I don't see much action being taken on those already IN.

When the RCC starts living what it preaches, then it might have some credibility.

Ping me to the threads about them when you see them, then.
