      tangentially, it occurs to me that this is similar to the thinking behind the left wing "priests should be allowed to marry" stance: these people think "well, OF COURSE any normal person would start molesting children or male seminarians if they couldn't have sex with women"https://twitter.com/St_Rev/status/1044425401294974976 …

      This became clear during the Great Incel Panic of 2018, when it was made clear that dudes who don't fuck are basically the same as rapist murderers.

      Is it left wing? I know trads who espouse this, noting e.g. Orthodox sects. Argument isn't so much that it changes people as it is that it prevents predators from hiding in clergy. Ofc people may put forth what you describe also!

      I'm arguing that the agitation for it in 2018 America is 100% left wing. I can imagine a different world, where the communists aren't trying to destroy western civ, where there could be agitation for Orthodox style married priests, and that agitation would not come from the left

      replace my "100%" with "99.8%" if you wish yes, some argue this in good faith, but they are exceedingly rare; the vast majority I see are NOT doing it for the good of the church, but to make the church comport with the norms of the CURRENT YEAR

      Not RC here, so no dog in this fight. I truthfully think the Orthodox approach to priesthood is the most sensible and early historic one. HOWEVER, I agree that **in the current climate** the RCC giving an inch is likely an unwise move.

      Yep. If we destroy communism, in 50 or 100 years I'd be open to the Church allowing more priests to marry (it currently allows some married priests)

          And even Orthodox sects limit the franchise. You can be married and then become a priest, but not be a priest and get married. Makes sense. Dating priests? Weird.

          Yes. The role of “priest’s wife” in Orthodoxy is seen as a lifelong commitment by her also - and a decision to be made *after* the first flush of dating.

          Yep. Same with deaconesses. Doing that when the unique gifts of gender are widely understood is a different thing than doing it when the overwhelming narrative being pushed is “we’re no different.”
