Married priests is good. The Greek orthodox priests can marry. They do not have the problems of molestation we have in the church of Rome.

The John Jay College of Criminal Justice, part of the City University of New York system, studied the molestation cases, and found that over 85% of the molestations were done by homosexual priests. In Australia, they recently found that the percentage was over 90%. Just how would marriage help?

That would be easy...According to God's scripture a man must be married and have children before he is put in charge of a congregation...There would be no job openings for queers...

You need to document that, while as "to "just how would marriage help?," the answer is that it would make the pastorate less attractive to homosexuals, seeing as they would not be in a community of single men, many of which are homosexuals, but if as seen in Scripture, the pastorate would normatively consist of heterosexual men.

Of course, none of them were part of a separate class of believers distinctively titled "priests ."
