I never saw anything in the Bible that said priests should be celibate/single. Because the Catholic Church decided to do something that is unnatural, a lot of the people who chose to become Catholic priests are gay. Changing this rule will do nothing to degrade the standards of the Church, and will bring in some badly needed new blood to the priesthood.
Inaccurate. You're perpetuating a very old urban myth.
So do you think that we should lock up everyone over a certain age who isn’t married, because they are committing “unnatural acts?”
Actually, the gays snuck in. There are a few left in the older ranks, but the young guys - no. At least not here. Gays are generally screened out.

This keeps coming up, and frankly some of the most liberal dingbats I know would be the first ones to sign up. Talk about Mass by the rubrics going out the window. That would be the first thing to go. One of the most obnoxious priests I've come across is a widower. If that's what we're going to get, I'll take the nice, conservative boys currently in the seminary, thank you.
