"Unlike monks, parish priests do not take a vow of poverty; but they promise to be celibate..."
That statement is COMPLETELY inaccurate! So how can we trust any of this article? Obviously he confused "religious" and "diocesan" priests, misunderstood the vows monks take with the fact they usually do not receive Holy Orders, no comprehension that "vow" of celibacy is not a promise not to have sex, virtue vs. vow, that parish priests can be non-diocesan, etc.
Spoken like a true Catholic.
no comprehension that "vow" of celibacy is not a promise not to have sex,
I'll have to find this loophole at New Advent. I bet a lot of priests will be happy to hear.

Diocesan priests do not take a vow of poverty -- only chastity and obedience.
