I left the seminary after I realized I couldn't remain celibate. There was no way in hell I would bring dishonor on the office of the priesthood. Yet, at the same time, the Roman Catholic church welcomes married Anglican priests into the fold. Go figure.

Being married to a woman will not stop pedophiles.

It is God who calls one to serve in the sacred priesthood. If he responds to the call the grace to remain celibate is given by God. To demand the abolishment of clerical celibacy is tantamount to saying that God's grace is not sufficient for the call. Whenever one gets in a argument with God who do you think will lose. When you left the seminary to marry it either means that God never called you or if he did call you you chose not to respond. There is an old saying that goes like this: "You makes you choice; you pays you price."
