I appreciate tradition, but this non-Catholic think it would not be bad if priests could marry.

There are some serious logistical problems with the concept. See my post above -

Can you elaborate?

That’s what all the liberal Catholics invariably believe too, excepting they actually hate the discipline. In fact, try to find a liberal of any faith that accepts abortion, ‘gay marriage,’ and female clergy that also thinks the Catholic discipline of celibacy is valuable and should be continued. They just get there from a completely different direction.

Allowing priests to marry would make the RCC less of a magnet for child molesters. A celibate profession naturally becomes a magnet for people accustomed to concealing their sexual habits, and no group conceals its perversions more zealously than child molesters.
