But every diocese and every order should enact a policy of zero tolerance for breaking the vow of celibacy

A minor quibble with an otherwise excellent article.

Gays in the priesthood have no problems with the vow of celibacy. They can't get married anyway (yet) so are giving up *nothing* by taking a vow of celibacy.

The focus needs to be on the vow of *chastity.*

Law has a problem, his ego and power will not let him see the forest for the trees.

Accept the responsibility of your office, admit you were wrong and then move out of the way so that the trust can return.
