The analogy is horrible. Monogamy is universal moral law, celibacy a mere canonical discipline. That said ending celibacy is not an answer to the "abuse crisis" because the abusers ARE GAY.https://twitter.com/iPadre/status/1049457536833851393 …

But it would potentially change the character of the priesthood to something less feminine and thereby attract less homosexual men.

So would BARRING MEN WITH DISORDERED AFFECTIONS FROM THE PRIESTHOOD. If Bishops don't have the gumption to implement what the moral law AND COMMON SENSE already requires of them, why would anyone trust them to CHANGE an ancient Latin discipline.

I agree, I'm just pointing out that relaxing the discipline of celibacy would help reduce the attraction that gay men have to the priesthood.

A single priest should be viewed with suspicion, and I interpret Saint Paul, himself single (probably widowed), as viewing single priests with suspicion.

Whether or not the Latin Rite has been misreading St. Paul for 1600 years, it doesn't explain how Bishops started ordaining faggotz in 1973.

Rome has been ordaining gays since Pope Gregory VII introduced celibacy in 1074, and it has had a crisis of sexual abuse since about 1100, about the same time as it introduced female consent to marriage.

Introducing female consent to marriage was likely done by gays, since it treats the roles of husband and wife as symmetric.

Not a concession to the cult of romance/courtly love?

If, however, they had not been celibate, and not had far too many gays, would have been better able to recognize the cult of romance and courtly love as troubadours engaging in a demonic celebration of adultery and women posing a fitness test.
