A deep relationship with a woman is what I was missing when I was in the seminary. The sex, as you say, was secondary.
Many priests are simply lonely for the love of a woman. You can't substitute dogs, or other men, or even God."
Thank you for such a nice response.
If you were missing a deep relationship with a woman, it seems that you weren't called to celibacy.
However, if God is calling a person to celibacy, He absolutely can substitute for any need which that person has.
There have been many, fulfilled, celibate people in the history of our Church. And they have claimed to be happy. I also know several priests who are deeply spiritual and happily celibate.
There don't seem to be very many now. And we must have the sacraments to remain the People of God.
Whether those sacraments come from married or celibate priests is of very little concern to most Catholics.
