[Buckeye McFrog]

The girls might just get the idea that they can become priests...

I know I'll get flamed for this, but once demographics and reality catch up to the Vatican (i.e. they cannot find enough men willing to take a vow of celibacy to keep churches open and operating) you WILL see married Priests.

And, shortly thereafter, women priests.

Numerical realities will trump tradition and dogma faster than you can say "collection basket". As with altar servers in our church, it will boil down to a choice between non-traditional candidates or no candidates.

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

We already do have married in our archdiocese, mostly converts from the Episcopalian Church and they do just as well as the celibate priests. No issues at all. Priests are also permitted to marry in Catholic rites in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and of course Orthodox priests are permitted to be married. No one has issues with this.

And, shortly thereafter, women priests.

If you believe this, you place yourself outside the Catholic Church. Since you opine about vocations, I must ask: Do you know any young men preparing for the priesthood? I know quite a few -- I could name about 20 offhand, plus other recently ordained. Also, I know where they come from and what has motivated them. We may not be getting many vocations from your extreme end of the spectrum -- or outside the spectrum, which is where you seem to be. But that's OK.
