Mandatory celibacy may continue in the Latin Rite, but it is becoming more and more indefensible.

I am not wise enough much less spiritually blessed enough to take a strong position on the abandonment of celibacy.

I can say this, having had the experience of any convert, a married pastor introduces a whole new set of potential problems.

Sure it does. But there are problems with any kind of life. It's just a matter of what kinds of problems the Church is willing to live with.
