You should be defending the teaching and disciplines of the Church, not attacking them in a public forum.

I'm a married deacon, in a parish with a married Catholic priest.

I'm defending the reality that exists in my own parish.

[Notwithstanding]

Does your "I-had-a-bad-experience-and-everyone-else-needs-to-know-about-it" approach in your diaconal ministry help bring people to know and accept the teachings of Christ's Church?

Horse-hockey. All you do is attack the discipline of celibacy as a stricture of the Latin Church. No one here has ever, to my knowledge, attacked the marriage exceptions for Protestant ministers who convert. Yet you claim to defend something that no one is attacking? Unbelievable!
