Friends of Call to Action of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky recently sent the surveys to all priests in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and the Diocese of Covington."Whiner's Anonymous"...at least some of the priests understand what this group is about.
It was part of a national effort by Call to Action USA and other Catholic lay groups to find out how priests feel about the celibacy issue.
She said one Cincinnati priest, 70 years old, agreed to the need for discussion, but said that as for himself, he wouldn't have been as effective a pastor if he had been distracted by family life.
Another priest said he'd had plenty of chances to break his vow of chastity -- he'd been propositioned five times, according to Kemper.
One priest who responded crossed out the name of the group and wrote "Whiner's Anonymous" over it, she said.
The article also quotes statistics from "FutureChurch", another dissenting organization, most of whom are bent on destroying the Church in America.
