YEah, I think I see married priests to be right around the corner. It's not doctinal, it's law (policy). So it can be changed. I'm not altogether for it, but I think it would help reverse the homosexualization of the clergy, along with other measures. And, of course, the main reason would be to get an increase in vocations.

I know there are negatives, I'm not going to go into that now.

.....it would help reverse the homosexualization of the clergy.....

Married clergy invites other problems....

So before that step, could we begin by getting rid of the homosexuals in the clergy as the first step in reversing the homosexualization of the clergy?

No queer priests....no homosexual molestations by priests.

Have to disagree. I feel that it's mistreating the wound. The problem with the homosexualization and liberalization of some of the clergy won't be cured just by ending the celibacy tradition.
