As to the priests, were the Catholic Church to reform and permit the clergy to marry . . . but the death of the force behind Vatican II put the kibosh on that. On that score and on a few others, such as the Popes infallibility, I cannot and will not join the Catholic Church, even though I adhere to my promise to the Monsiegnieur who married us that I would allow my Children to be raised in the Church . . . a situation that is a mess, to be sure, but works well enough. Some Sundays, I go to church, hear my daughter sing, and listen to a priest who I have reasonable reason to believe does not bugger the altar boys. He sometimes hits on a theme or a point that enlightens me just a bit. It's worth it. :)
