I would rather we lose 90% of the priests in order to insure a return to sound doctrine and morality at the pulpits and altars of every place the Mass is said.

If people had to sacrifice (drive an hour) to get to Mass on Sunday (due to a severe shortage of priests after the scum is skimmed) we would soon find out who is dedicated and devout.

A a former Episcopalian looking at the Roman Catholic Church, I can't help but believe that if you all got rid of all of the homosexuals and teachers of questionable theology that you would have a huge increase in vocations from Catholic heterosexual men who would be willing to pursue a celibate life -- if they weren't having to defend their virtue from predatory homosexual priests. Maybe I am wrong to comment about an internal matter for you, but you have a great Church and I absolutely believe that God would bless all of you with faithful priests if this rot and evil were to be plucked out.

I agree again. I have no problem with the celibacy discipline. Nor do I have a problem with married priests. Celibate or married, if they are living their sacred orders according to Church law and doctrine and truly shepherding God's people, that's what matters to me. Fidelity to Christ and His Body; the only thing that matters.
