Congratulations to Fr. Livingstone! I suppose this will only crank up the rallying cry of those who seek to eliminate a celibate catholic priesthood.

An exclusively celibate priesthood has already been eliminated, thanks to priests like Fr. Livingstone, but nobody is seeking to eliminate from the priesthood those truly called to celibacy.

In fact, celibacy freely chosen would serve as a great witness.
