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.
Your mocking advice to us Catholics is much appreciated. Faith is often not intellectual. That's why so many intellectuals are utterly flummoxed when they encounter it. If the Church was a purely worldly, intellectual institution, it would have been stomped out thousands of years ago. Keep trying.

Intellect over faith would have removed Cardinal Law many years ago.
Faith and intellect are both gifts from God.
