I concede that allowing priests to marry might not make much difference. I still, however, think that the priesthood is an attractive position to some homosexuals.

Wow - didn’t realize that many protestants were molesting young boys. The only thing I can think of is that there is an all out attack on the church, catholic and protestant. Sin is rampant, and the enemy of our souls must be enjoying this thoroughly.

If the valuable discipline of celibacy is relaxed, it would involve allowing married men to become priests, never allowing “priests to marry” after they have been ordained. None of the apostolic Churches have ever allowed priests to marry, to my understanding.
