The only discussion of priestly celibacy that's good is the type which considers how best to defend the concept.

Maybe. Discussion gets people thinking. I notice the Register didn't interview anybody who favored optional celibacy; there are married Episcopalian convert priests who do, you know.

I know two of them.

And it's funny to read about these married guys favoring celibacy.

They must have thought very little about their ministry in the Episcopal Church.

Dear sinkspur,

"And it's funny to read about these married guys favoring celibacy."

I've heard criticism of celibate priests who endorse celibacy, because they can't know what it would be like to be a married priest, and thus, can't judge that a celibate priesthood is generally preferable (at least in the Latin Rite).

So, you criticize married priests who endorse celibacy, there is criticism of celibate priests who endorse celibacy.

Kind of a no-win situtation, huh?
