So, are you suggesting that becuase our society is obsessed by sex, that our Church must be too? That because our society is corrupt, that we must let our priests marry? I'd suggest the opposite, myself. We ought not let a corrupt society take control of the Church.

Very well said! Many people agitate against the celibate priesthood because they assume, together with many in our increasingly corrupt society, that sexual pleasure is the highest good of human existence. They hate the celibate priesthood for the same reason they hate the Church's teachings on human sexuality.

The celibate priesthood has served the Roman Catholic Church well for centuries. There is no need to abandon it now.
