A celibate clergy makes no sense. What you end up with is a clergy dominated by men with a lot of baggage. Most normal men would not take up this vocation, while deviants would. The deviant feels that by taking the vow of celibacy he can be free of his deviancy, but it never works. It will always come out in the end. Back in the 50’s a friend of my father went to seminary briefly. He came back a told my father that the place was just full of homos.

I’m sorry but this is a really odd thing to say. “Clergy dominated by men with a lot of baggage”. You do realize that over 90% of Catholic priests are NOT deviants, right? They are incredibly holy men devoted to their calling.

You must have a Ph.D in psychology. That was absolutely brilliant psychoanalysis on the typical Catholic seminarian.
