BTW: If you ask any priest or deacon about what I said, he will tell you I’m crazy.

Any of them??? Why is that?

Because almost no one in the Church realizes that the law on clerical continence (which applies to all clerics, married or celibate) has never changed. Virtually everyone has assumed, since the restoration of the permanent diaconate around 1965, that married deacons are not bound to continence. They are simply wrong. Read what Dr. Edward Peters has written on the subject.
