This is where my problem lies since this is a gross distortion and denies the theology and practice of the early Church, starting with St. Paul, who desired that all men might be as himself (1 Corinthians 7:7-8).

Paul may have liked to see this happen but he knew it wouldn't be, especially with any clergy since Paul also tells us that all the clergy must have wives and children...

He must mean those who aren't, as he recommended, celibate.
