The only thing Catholics see in a celibate priesthood is a predominance of homosexuals. One thing's for sure: a married priesthood may or may not bring more men into the priesthood, but it will bring heterosexual men into the priesthood, which might be a good place to begin discussing celibacy in its full biblical and spiritual richness for those who choose to accept it.

And once more you cave in.Just curious,exactly what will it take for you to take a stand in favour of the Catholic Church,and her proclamations?

I stand in favor of the Catholic Church, and her doctrinal proclamations. Celibacy is neither doctrine nor universal discipline, anymore, with the Anglican dispensation.
