The Catholic Church needs to do away with the celibacy nonsense which attacks homosexuals and other deviants. They should instead allow heterosexual married priests.

Kind of hard to argue against consecrated celibacy when it has both implicit and explicit support from the Apostle Paul, among others.

Besides, celibacy has nothing to do with this article anyway.

Agreed, and, you may not be aware, but the Catholic Church does now have some married priests. They are already clergy and are coming over from other religions, married and with children.
But here’s the problem with married priests, or current seminarians getting married, having children, etc., it’s expensive, and most parish’s have trouble meeting expenses with just Priests to support. I could get real specific with expenses, but not sure you may really be interested.

This has nothing to do with that. Read Again.
