"I see your article as one more example in favor of celibacy."

Puhleeese! - Its not MY article - I just found it on TCR!

I am certainly no fan of Timothy Radcliffe.

However, if I was going to play devil's advocate I might suggest that many traditionalist/conservative Catholics would be happier with queer priests than they would be with married priests! ;)

Faithful Catholics would be happy when Church leaders denounce error and excommunicate heretics. The priest shortage is the result of liberal forces infiltrating the Church. Celibacy is not the issue, no matter how the heterodox spin it.
