Contrary to popular opinion, it's not the lack of sex which makes celibacy so tough, it's the loneliness. Getting a dog helps, but it's not enough. It's the assurance that there is SOMEBODY for you, who is there for you, and for nobody else, that makes marriage such a wonderful life.
That says it all...

We faithful Catholics need to keep the priests in our Parish close to our families, have them over for meals and include them in our family gatherings, and let them talk things out. Once I attended a church that had a sign-up sheet for families to invite them for dinner.

It's not good for man to be alone. Our Holy Father stated in his Holy Thursday message to priests that the priest is configured to Christ as Master, Shepherd, Priest and SPOUSE. He is not alone. We all are to live by faith.
