Thanks!
Seems obvious to me. The idea behind celibacy is good,IMO. It is perhaps the biggest sacrifice of all to overcome human sexual nature. I don't think the idea of self-sacrifice is bad if one wants to dedicated one's life to God.
The problem we have is that breaking the vow of celibacy is not punished. Priests with girlfriends are in instant trouble, priests having sex with each other, or other men, has been ignored and excused.
