are you trying to pick a fight ? I was sharing an opinion with RN - am I entitled to that - show me where I denied Protestants have the same problem ? - It is MY OPINION (operative word) that celibacy in the priesthood will be the demise of the Catholic faith - If you recall between frothing heavy breaths I said:this is not just a Catholic problem
Was the priestly celibacy issue one of the reasons you abandoned the Faith?
actually my denomination abandoned me..... tolerance of openly schismatic parishes by a left leaning bishop pushed me away - I live in this diocese
I've often wondered how many people have been driven from the Church by that sort of people... I was almost one of them. Oddly, it's just that sort of people who want married priests. It's also that sort of people who are, in some areas, letting queers into the seminary and "weeding out" the good guys. In spite of them and their malfeasance, nothing will be the demise of the Catholic Church.
You're welcome to your opinion; it's a free country. This is a public forum, however.
