Having a married clergy,however, prevents the priesthood from being a safe haven for homosexuals and pedophiles.

So are you suggesting that the Catholic Church force all priests to be married? Because unless all priests are married, a "married clergy" does not prevent such a thing. It will still happen.

If it is a choice to marry or not, then considering the power that the gays have in the seminaries, you would still find the heteros leaving the seminaries and leaving us with gay clergy or gay sympathetic clergy anyway.

Homosexuals in the priesthood is the main issue. Not celibacy. I don't normally bother with the latter topic.

Oh come on now. You can do better than that.

I don’t see anyone suggesting that the RCC demand all of its priests to be married.

Do you guys not see the difference between allowing and demanding?
