Celibacy works for those who can handle it.
If not, Paul says, better to marry than to burn (with lust).
The priests in ancient Israel were all married men and able to fulfill their priestly duties.
There have been uncounted numbers men who have been successful ministers and pastors, while being married and raising children.
Being able to shepherd a congregation and being married are not mutually exclusive.
I think the only hope for the Catholic church surviving is to allow for married priests again. I suspect that it’s the only way that it’s going to be able to get enough men to enter the priesthood these days and since there is nowhere in Scripture that DEMANDS that a pastor be single, there’s really no justification for it.
I don't know what was the original justification other than apocryphal stories. Since the Catholic Church admits married priests from other denominations who matriculate, the boys upstairs seem sort of flexible on the issue.
As to what.The men accused of abuse are with young male’s.Your point is Men should marry men?.
