[a history buff]

That he can say that the African church's growth means that celibacy is fine is an exercise in the absurd, given that in one African country, Zimbabwe if I recall correctly, they couldn't find a single celibate priest with the smarts to be a bishop when Rome insisted at least the bishop be celibate.

And his history of celibacy is fishy as well.

Consider a name change to "history bluff." All the priest asserts is Documented.
