Catholic Church needs to allow priest to marry. My wife and I are Catholic. She remarked a few months back the latest young priest look like the church is picking from the "bottom of the barrel" of males so to speak. What young male wants to be celibate unless he has issues?

So Jesus believes that those that remain celibate for the Kingdom of Heaven "have issues?"

No, I never said that. BTW, Does God really care? SRS. All those married pastors from throughout the centuries who have done good all their lives and were pious are not going to heaven? Or God looks upon them less?

I'm sure God has more important criteria than if a guy is celibate or not.

We have a family friend who wants to become a priest but is married. He probably does more for the church than many priest, Eucharist minister, teaches Sunday CCW, Works hard for Knights of Columbus etc.
