Maybe the Vatican learned its lesson about the futility of commissioning studies after the Birth Control Commission?
Yes. Maybe the Vatican shouldn't put doctrine to the whims of a commission.
A discipline like celibacy,however, is ripe for a study. Why are men in the West not responding to calls to the priesthood, whereas men in Latin America, Africa, and Asia seem to be?
Let Andrew Greeley run it. He did a sociological study in the 70s, which the bishops ignored.
And Greeley would be perfect, since he's all for maintaining the discipline of celibacy.
