You missed my point that the Catholic Church allows marries priests - just not in the Latin Rite.

I agree they’d probably have less homosexuals (”disordered personalities”), and I believe the gay infiltration of the priesthood is a serious issue downplayed by the Church AND media (they’ve moved up higher and higher in the hierarchy).

I just can’t say a guy with a wife and kids can make the same commitment as a single unattached guy.

They can make the same commitment, but with a married priesthood, the numbers of priests would very likely increase, easing the burden on those who are doing it.

God never saw any problem with married priests and did not demand it. The priests in the OT were married.

A celibate priesthood is MAN’S idea, not God’s.

BTW, a single man still has the responsibilities of running a home and paying his bills and cooling his meals and doing his laundry and cleaning his home all by himself, and being sick with no care, without the help or support of someone to share life with.
