I too, would like to see a percentage comparison.

The orthodoxy of the Bishops — first

Second — the visitations and recommendations to seminaries

Third — the almost horrendous screening that goes on for entrance into the seminary, two day oral pschye examination, written opus about becoming a priest, interviews by several faculty members and the vocations director at the seminary. It all takes about six months. Can you imagine examinations like that for any other career/vocation in life?

Celibacy is a gift from God that not many have. It is The LORD’s intention that men and women should in general be married. One knows if one should be married if one “burns”. What happens to the Priest who “burns” when he is forbidden to marry?

1Cr 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

1Cr 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

1Cr 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

1Cr 7:36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of [her] age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

The Priest are only close and intimate with other men. It is well know more men who are in prison with only other men will turn to homosexuality than those out of prison. After they come out many will then return to the use of a woman.

The Priest may often be put together with teenage boys in situations that may be tempting to one who “burns” without the normal outlet for the “burning” of a beloved wife.
Abnormal desires can express themselves more readily when normal desires are unnaturally suppressed. As The Bible says let them that “burn” marry.

It is both ridiculous and insulting to compare the life of the priest with prison inmates. Thousands of priests were able to find women whom they subsequently married. One would have to have little or no knowledge of the ministerial life of a priest to make a comparison to prison inmates. Lets face the truth - homosexual life style by homosexuals.
