Before I get flamed into oblivion for my last post, allow me to add that celibacy could (or should) be allowed still for any priests who feel that path best for them.

But like I said, I do really think the Church would be vastly improved if priests were given the option to marry and have families, if they so wish.

Just my humble opinion..........

Did you read the article that sourced this thread? If you did and responded as you did then,I am sorry. If you did not read it,please do.It clearly points out that this issue is not just a trivial matter,or a matter of discipline,as the Amchurchians like to claim.

I don't want to be an alarmist but the consequences of who wins or loses this battle are monumental. If the Amchurchians and their cobbled cabal win we can say good-bye to Christianity and Western Civilization.

The message we will have sent to God and the world is "Sorry God,we cannot find even one half of a per-centage point of your male creation to imitate Christ and dedicate their all to You,for the sake of the kingdom.Marx was right."

Doesn't it strike you as somewhat amusing that the same people who loudly proclaim that they are pro-choice desire nothing more than to eliminate a "choice" for someone to renounce all and publicly proclaim "I have freely chosen to renounce all worldly things and follow in the footsteps of Christ"?
