Topic of the week: celibacy and the priesthood

It was Mark Twain who said: "Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story, unless you can't think of anything better.” Kevin McKenna's essay stuck pretty rigidly to Twain’s dictum (For the love of God, let Catholic clergy love women, Comment, February 21).
The question of whether or not the Catholic Church’s position on celibacy is conducive to promoting and sustaining vocations is a reasonable one to ask. As a discipline, rather than a dogma, it could change. The article however did offer a shred of evidence to prove that it should.
