So much this. This would also likely greatly decrease instances of child molestation. You have to be kinda a weird guy to want to go into a profession which demands celibacy and forbids fathering children. Every man has those desires inside of them and demanding that they be rejected is not only cruel, but has little basis in scripture.

Priestly Celibacy has no basis in scripture and wasn't even a rule in the Catholic Church until 1139. It boggles my mind that it won't change this policy. This wouldn't solve the priest shortage but it sure would help.

Most common child molestors are biological fathers of children... So... Not true at all.

If only we let teachers get married, they wouldn't bang their students.

I'd be fine with just being able to get laid...I hate kids and have no desire to ever father them or be around them in any capacity.
