Isn't is just like the media to pursue the "sex" angle! Last year their focus was on "gay pedophile" priests, now it has switched to the "healthy, good looking" (presumably heterosexual) young seminarians and priests.

If nothing else, this article makes for a good laugh.

The media still doesn't get it.

The concept of the male celibate priest was always intended to be, among many other things, a strong masculine role model. I find this article highly encouraging. Of course the degenerate media will twist and distort it, but then, that's them, isn't it.

CHASTITY A TURN-OFF

Sorry, folks. Chastity is for everyone: single, married, religious, and laity. The specifics are different, depending on one's state in life, but there's no escape.

I think one reason young men don't consider the priesthood is that they don't understand the alternative. Barring unforeseen circumstances (lifelong bachelorhood, infertility), the alternative to priesthood is fatherhood. Father or Father, as it were.

Godless society says that the choice is between celibacy and promiscuity, but that's a deadly lie. If a young man says he's not inclined to the priesthood because he's planning on marriage and children, then he's with the program. If a young man says he's not considering a religious vocation because he wants sex, then he's been poorly catechized.

But in all honesty, I much prefer healthy, good looking priests than gay pedophile priests.

Yeah, well, maybe they focused on the "gay pedophile" priests because the "bishops" and the "church leadership" didn't do "squat" for "decades" except move the "priests" around from place to place when "little boys" got "raped".
