I personally think that celibacy, when lived, can allow those who understand it and truly live it, to be better priests than married ones ever will be. The downside is that when it's not understood, or not lived, the costs can be staggering. I truly lament the fact that the old traditions have been abandonded, but doubt that we can swim in the same river twice. (Ecclesia) fluctuat nec mergitur.
Let me go get some detailed histories, and I'm sure we can discuss this charitably. My other duties mean that this will take some time, but we can and should do it.
By the way, have you read the comments of the early fathers of the church about sexuality?
For my part, I admit to neither. I highly enjoy these exchanges and I harbor neither hatred or bitterness. I think it apparent I love to argue and I do not take these discussions, arguements, fights, exchanges, dialogues, critcisms etc personally. I always assume, probably too innocently, that others don't also. My intent isn't to hurt another's feelings but to enjoy the competition for truth.
