This is nothing but window dressing and will not result in any substantial results. It is long overdue that the Church deal with the real 800 pound gorilla: probably 50% (maybe more) of today’s “priests” are homosexual and or pederasts and not celibate. What a disgrace.

The Latin word caelebs means "unmarried" (referring to a man). It doesn't necessarily imply anything about abstaining from sexual activity. An ancient Roman senator who was caelebs probably had slave women to sleep with (or slave boys, if he was so inclined).
