The contempt you show for this most wonderful gift from God -the gift of the priesthood- is precisely indicative of the contempt many bishops and cardinals apparently seem to feel for this and other Church teachings.

Contempt for the priesthood?

Oh, I guess, in your either-or thinking, my support for optional celibacy in the priesthood must mean I hate the priesthood.

I'm just thankful you didn't call me Judas or something.

Just to reiterate (since it seems you have a great fear one will call you names) a poster reminded you that:

"THE BISHOP AND PRIEST IS CONFIGURED TO CHRIST AS HEAD AND SHEPHERD!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And you responded with:

"Yea, I know that. I learned that. It was ground into me."

Read your own words, sink, and tell me how I'm supposed to infer anything other than contempt for the teaching that the Bishop and Priest is Configured to Christ as Head and Shepherd?

For heaven's sake! Where was celibacy mentioned in this article???? Johnny One-Note strikes again!
