Noting that you don't agree with the Church on Humanae Vitae, I wonder are you interested in trying to change the Church in a general sense or are these two issues the only two which you have difficulty with?

I agree with the Church's teaching on Humanae Vitae; you make an assumption I don't because I raised questions that lots of Catholics raise. A mistake on your part.

Yes, I'd like to see married priests. I think the quality of priests in our Church today is less than it would be if we had a wider group of men from which to draw. Marriage is not an impediment to the priesthood, as the Orthodox have proven.

One of the best priests in our diocese was a Episcopal convert and married. Needless to say, Steubenville University made him an offer he couldn't refuse :o)

One thing that I find hopeful is that some widowed men are opting to go to seminary and become priests in later life. Maybe this can become a trend...
