"I meant that since Catholic priests are not allowed to marry or have male-female relationships, fewer 'straight' men are drawn to the clergy."

Men are drawn to the clergy by the Grace of God. Catholic rules do not make them go astray. Evil does.

It's the Catholic Faith, the Eucharist, that keeps us practicing Catholics and faithful to the church albeit humanly flawed [just like our families!].

'The Imitation of Christ' by Thomas A.Kempis is awesome!
