Any set of rules which is difficult to follow must not be imposed.It must be left to the individual.If an individual is not inclined to follow Celibacy,but spiritually inclined may be inducted.In this way one can avoid perversions.It must be understood that Sex is not a sin.
Story:
Pope Benedict XVI has defended celibacy among priests, saying it was a sign of “full devotion” to the Catholic Church.
He was speaking at a theological conference before meeting Germany’s top bishop for talks about a new crisis over the sexual abuse of children
German Bishop Robert Zollitsch apologised again to victims of abuse by German priests.
The Archbishop of Vienna had suggested that the Church should examine celibacy and priests’ training.
