[Polycarp]

Are you celibate?

I was before I was married at 24. It was not impossible for me then, nor is it impossible for priests now. Grow up. Quit living life and believing as if that thing between your legs rules your mind and your soul. It doesn't.

Dear Polycarp:
Wake up. Why do you think the Church is having so hard a time recruiting in its seminaries or why so many hetrosexual priests are leaving the pulpit? Clinging to such an antiquated (and unScripturely sound) ideal as celibacy is only leaving the Roman Church with empty altars--and vacant pews because of it>

[Mark17]

Peter, and many of the rest of the original 12 apostles were married. God created marriage. Priests can marry if they wish. Nothing prohibits them from doing so.
