Exactly. And JohnR claims that I misrepresented him by characterizing him as an uptight prude. What this priest has done is no more serious than switching from Coke to Pepsi. JohnR seems to be affronted that he would do such a thing because as we all know from its marketing campaigns, Coke is the "real thing." Sound familiar? Don't we hear the same things from people who call ex-TMers "traitors?" All Catholic priests have the thing that JohnR would like to forbid them -- freedom of choice. They are free to choose an artificial lifestyle that they have been told is somehow "better" and more noble than the lifestyle of others and live in a bubble of elitism, or they can choose to reject that dogma and live like other men and enjoy the love of a woman. Neither of those choices says a damned thing about the priest's love for God.
