I differ with people who back the rebel Roman Catholic priests’ protest against celibacy vows. While their calls for review of the law might or might not be considered, the idea is insincere.
Before one becomes a priest, he is subjected to a 12-year training in several stages. After each stage the question of celibacy is open to candidate’s consent or rejection. And after the period, the candidate makes a final voluntary declaration to remain celibate, with an option of retiring to marry at wish. Therefore, the rebel priests are just lustful and allowing them to marry is not a solution. They should also understand marriage is not the end of sexual lust.
Besides, it is for us Christians to shape our conducts to meet the morality standards of the Church doctrines but not vice versa.
