This, of course, is just my opinion. But I don't think any of what I've said goes against the teachings or Traditions of the Church. I don't have to be “talked into” seeing the value in priestly celibacy. God willing, this is a gift in our Church that will experience a renaissance, BUT, I think it is worthwhile to consider, in the near future, a wider application of the dispensation from the vow of celibacy for some married men who seek ordination. These would hopefully compliment (NOT replace) a celibate priesthood.
We have a similar issue simmering in my Protestant megachurch. About the time we moved from an overcrowded former doughnut factory to a spacious new auditorium, we had a transition in leadership. Most of the elders disappeared, and a cadre of slick young religious professionals suddenly started taking responsibility for the various fragmented aspects of our ministry -- a "children's pastor," a "woman's pastor," a "singles pastor," a "youth pastor," etc.
We went from being an energetic family led and overseen by crazy uncles, colorful, mature, high-achievers in the real world, to a business managed by cloned, interchangeable, young religious professionals.
The miracle of the Incarnation (Merry Christmas, dear Catholic and Protestant freepers!) is, in part, the amazing fact that God works within the context of real life. Everyday life. Christianity is a participatory event, not a spectator sport where "50,000 people who desperately need exercise watch 22 people who desperately need rest."
