Maybe the Catholics were wrong to mandate priestly celibacy in the 12th century. That could explain why leadership became more selfish and corrupt in the centuries leading up to the Protestant Reformation. LOL

For all unmarried, not only priests, chastity constitutes total sexual continence.

We need holy, not worldly, priests.
