“The Catholic Church just in the USA has more married clergy “

Great start. Now, simply remove any conditions about marriage. Marriage should be natural and not contrived.

Yes, they should also live in the Bible! :)

Ha! Nice point.

May get back into this in the morning. I'm getting a beer and a melatonin. G'night, Code Toad.

OK, G'morning in the afternoon.

" Great start. Now, simply remove any conditions about marriage. Marriage should be natural and not contrived."

Agree 100%. But what "conditions" are you talking about? A marriage is only considered "valid" --- sacramentally speaking --- in the Catholic Church if it is "natural and not contrived."

So, we're there: at least if practice matches theory.

Tagline from my fave Catholic theologian:
