I was trying to say....very poorly I may add...that because men must give up sexual activity and man-woman relationships, many men of sound moral character forego the priesthood.

This has culled the pool of candidates and as a result, many men who fill this void have 'issues'.

"....many men of sound moral character forego the priesthood"

I don't believe that is true as all other denominations are suffering from lack of vocations, married or not.
If you can't be celibate for the love of God, you don't belong there.

In the past due to errant sinful priest in the seminaries, those with "issues" were admitted. This is no longer the case.
