Mr. Hand is mistaken on this issue. Married priests are not the solution to the sexual scandal.

Would married priests introduce men who who might counter the predominance of homosexuals in the priesthood?

The Church must address the shortage here in the states; prayer alone is not getting it done.

Didn't he say he was willing to subject his personal opinions about married priests to the Magisterium and hasn't the Pope said the matter is closed and that celibacy is a great gift to the Latin Rite?

The correct response to the sins/crimes associated with the Vice of Lust is a return to the old school ways of priests centering their lives on Christ and embracing the Virtue of Temperance.
