Priesthood celebacy in the Catholic Church

[Questioner]

Given that Priesthood celibacies has been required since the Church was founded, I am surprised that it has lasted as long as it did.

Some have blamed required Priesthood celibacies on molestation scandals of recent years, what are your thoughts on this? Should the policy change? (Not that I would ever excuse the molestation or blame it solely on the celibacies requirement, mind you).

Given that Priesthood celibacies has been required since the Church was founded,

You actually believe they've been celibate?

I seriously doubt neither priests nor nuns are celibate.

does celibacy include self sex?

1. I'm not bored enough to care or speculate.

2. I believe some have, beyond that, again I'm not bored enough to speculate about others' sex lives or personal business, if I was, I'd be religiously reading the National Inquirer and watching Kim Kardashian's reality TV show as if it was the highlight of my life.

I didn't speculate on what Priests or Nun's sex lives were, no, unless you're equating molestation scandals with a "sex life", and if so then... er… no comment...

I was basically surprised that the church as an institution has lasted as long as it did, given what a self-sacrifice requiring celibacies is.

Whacking off is a sacrament

Yes, I'm assuming that some of them probably don't, nor am I assuming that all of them are molesters. Why do you care?

Which ones?

Why do you think they aren't?

 

[Unkotare]

If you want to make sure priests remain celibate, just let them get married.

Most women do too, but you'll have to actually have sex to realize this in person, if you honestly didn't know this, I suppose.

if they don't, there is something wrong with them

Why?
