[Arrian]

The Apostles were married!
Additionally, the hundreds of Anglican Ministers returning to the Roman Catholicism, are married w/families.
A married Priesthood would be an undisguised blessing for two major reasons:
* it would replace the homosexuals rampant among the Clergy and most importantly;
* it would affirm the criticality of the Family Unit as the bedrock of culture/society.

[RobbyS]

The only one of true Twelve we know was married was Peter. The New Testament is totally unconcerned about the question. It makes allusions to people about whom we know nothing more than their names.

As for ending the problem of the homosexuals among the clergy, that is doubtful, if only because sexual problems do not end with marriage.

It seems to me every single faith group that actually has accepted things like ‘gay marriage’, female clergy, and openly gay clergy in positions of leadership has allowed a married leadership first. I mean, how come married clergy/leaders didn’t stop the Episcopalians or the lib wings of the Lutherans and Presbyterians from accepting stuff like that?

Married priesthood, you say,"would replace the homosexuals rampant among the Clergy."

Why would it do that for the Catholics? It didn't for the Anglicans.
