I am not surprised that all you saw in this post was an opportunity to slander a devout priest who is now deceased and cannot defend himself, and to advance your own modernist agenda.

"The idea that men, young men of twenty say,..take a vow of celibacy. That they will never get married. And that they can keep that without getting twisted and psychologically moronic and finally ending up in pedophilia or sadism or in some twisted psychology. That is the normal attitude towards priests today. So the idea of Roman Catholic celibacy is something that is utterly alien to the mind.

Why? Because the idea of priesthood is. And this is where the great lack in teaching in seminaries and in the Catholic populace lies." Fr. Martin

Karl Keating's not wild about Martin either.
