I really appreciate that our Catholic priests are not married, are not distracted by the melodramas of having wives and children. They are shepherds dedicated to their flocks, I like this very much. Not having wives and/or children doesn't seem to dampen the sexual lust in some, though. Does it? There's more than "melodrama" right now, it's a scandal and a disaster and has been for hundreds of years in the Roman Catholic church. Don't believe me? Read about St. Peter Damian's Book of Gomorrah (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/929551/posts)

Yeah, that celibacy thing has worked out really well for them, hasn’t it.
No distractions, eh?
