Well the problems within the Catholic church with regard to pedophilia and homosexuality among priests is very grave and they have been compounding the sins by trying to cover it up in many cases. I may not be an expert on celibacy but it is painfully obvious that it is not working out very well for them.

I agree and some kind of reform is necessary. I would like to see Priests allowed to have normal healthy relationships with women. However; the Catholic church has taught homosexuality is a sin for thousands of years. Just because Western society finds it more acceptable now changes nothing in regards to the Catholic church. To my knowledge, and I admit to not being the best Catholic, men and women relationships have always been considered normal and healthy. Why not extend that to the Priests. Maybe even the Nuns or possibly have a secondary order of Nuns and Priests who can marry and have children? Just thinking out loud really.
