>> They are allowed to be married. I think that helps.

I suppose you’re referring to traditional marriage.

What I don’t get is, I don’t recall any priest ever going to a Baptist church for example (I can’t list all 51,00 different Proddy churches) and molesting their kids. So why won’t they leave us alone. We know there has been a problem and it’s being dealt with. Why can’t they just MTOB? Just curious.

I guess you haven’t caught up with what Pope Benedict did in cleaning out the seminaries. He sent papal emissaries to all monasteries to inspect, interview, recommend changes, etc.

HaHa...I've never seen a list of priests who have been relieved of their poition by any of your popes...Who's to say the emissaries weren't as queer as football bats??? Or the one who sent them???

A few weeks ago, only four new priests were ordained in our archdiocese, versus twenty six priests who passed away during the course of the year. I suspect this is typical in most of the archdiocese across the country.

Or better known as the "New Springtime" of the post-Vatican II Church. Or as Francis states, "the enormous fruits of Vatican II".

Of course!

Priests were married men in the Bible and for many centuries in the Catholic Church as well.

Celibacy was institutionalized in the Church after the Middle Ages, largely to fight corruption such as simony and nepotism.
