"But the doctrine of the Church is tended by the Holy Spirit. I don't worry about that."
It is admirable to live by principle.
It is sad to see principle when it does not exist.
The facade of celibacy is just that, a facade.
Adherents have to make intellectual backflips to believe otherwise. Their heads ring with cognative dissonace.
