I'd say there were a fair few young fellas who were caught out when their mother asked them what the topic of the sermon was. "Er, something about Jesus . . ."

With the Dublin diocese struggling to fill each parish with a priest is it not about time El Benedicto held a vatican council or whatever it is to allow priests to marry?

Imagine the need for funds if instead having a priest to support we had a priest, the mrs and the childer.

This is the real reason for the celibacy rule. It was a enrichment process.

Well you'll be fine in a few years time when a load of the 80 year old plus priests are gone to their eternal reward, you'll have no one to pay your stipend to, plus most parishes have a great big monolith of a parochial house to support anyway.

Do all priests not have a paid housekeeper? You also assume that a priest wouldn't marry a woman with her own job? If the priesthood included marriage you'd have boys beating a path to Maynooth.

Too true.  Actually, a great loss to the church.

Only a loss because of some stupid idiotic rule which says that priests must be celibate. When will the Church ever learn?
