This has nothing to do with recruitment and nothing to do with "understanding married couples" in your parish...

Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body demonstrates that it is possible for a celibate man to understand human sexuality more than married people themselves as all truths of the human condition are based upon objective Truths, not subjective experience.

This is akin to saying that someone who has studied ad nauseum from the greatest books about how to ride a bicycle somehow understands better than those who actually ride.

I agree.

What concerns me is that NO ONE wants to be a Catholic priest in America.
