You have hit the nail on the head. I am tired of arguing the same-old,same-old. It is sad that so many well meaning Catholics think celibacy will solve so many problems and don't see the hand writing on the wall.

They don't seem to realize that the Church and Western Civilization are in a crisis and that there are folks out there who want to destroy both. The most effective way to exacerbate it and destabilize further is to step up the pace of change. The enemies' focus is to change things faster and introduce new systems,activities and disciplines at every opportunity.

Your sample headlines are a perfect example of what is in store if the drum beaters for a non-celibate priesthood get their way.

Currently when I see subtle and/or not so subtle attacks on the Holy Father or the role of the Papacy,or a big push for relaxing the rules on celibacy by those who call themselves catholic,I see persons with an agenda that is not Catholic,or in some cases people who are just becoming aware and need to be better informed.

If after two or three rounds,I see the same folks saying the same thing,I know they are not interested in keeping the Deposit of Faith as given to the Church by Jesus Christ but instead are trying to bring or"sing" a new church into being and destroy the old Church.

I believe that we must pray unceasingly and seek,speak and live the Truth to fulfill God's plan for His people on earth.

Requiring celibacy of priests has absolutely nothing to do with the Deposit of Faith.
