I’m getting depressed hearing this stuff...i figured there might be a shortage
in this highly sexed world we live in....it takes a special heterosexual to give all that up
are all seminaries feeling such a crunch I wonder?
I don’t know really.
But I suspect that they are.
I understand the Churches reasons for the vows of Celibacy but think the only solution to these problems is to permit Priest to wed.
Had it not been for those vows I may have been a Priest myself.
I have not read anything official but I have heard rumors that the Church will not ordain anyone over the age of forty. That to me seems short sighted given the reality the Church now faces.
