Defending Celibacy-again!
The (let’s face it) kooky “working document” for the upcoming Pan Amazonian Synod in October has a lot of people scratching their heads if not outright worried about what’s in store.
I give the biblical and traditional evidence for celibacy and offer some thoughts to those who are vexed by the prospect of liberal bishops trying to drop the beautiful and badly needed lifestyle — starting with remote rainforest, and ending in your hometown.

Very funny presentation. Love it! Eastern Rite: Stability is a must for a married priest and his ministry would be within a close boundary not more than 200 meters. The faithful carry the sick to him. Christmas eve might then be a house full of sick people celebrating Christmas. Married priests are often like cloistered priests unless their families are grown up.
