Yeah because when my wife passed away the first thing I did was find a teenaged boy to meet my needs.


What he is implying is that many good men who would become priests don't do so because they want a wife and a family. It's human nature. They do not seek a celibate lifestyle.

In the past, before it was "okay" to be homosexual, the easiest way to hide it from your family was to go into the priesthood. That would make momma proud and stop all of the questions about why you didn't have a girlfriend.

Now that kids can be openly gay, very few good men want to be a priest. That's the problem that is easily solved by allowing marriage.

What would the Church do about the inevitable divorces?

This remains my biggest complaint about my religion. I don't care what a bunch of goat herders and the elders decided over the years, a man should be able to be married and have kids and still be a priest.

I argue with my wife all the time about this.
