Rebel Catholic priests have failed to overcome their lust

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.
