Priests urging optional celibacy described as men who love the church

Outlining the growing shortage of priests and its negative impact on weekend Masses in parishes, the group said, "Priests' Forum for Eucharist sees that the church law of mandatory celibacy is endangering the identity of the Catholic faithful as a people of the Eucharist." Members of the forum "believe that making celibacy an option for those who wish to become priests or by ordaining those who are already married is an obvious way to alleviate the problems" arising from the priest shortage, the news release said.
Failure to recognize the problem is symptomatic of many. There are less men from which to draw due, in large part, to the bishops and priests of the Western world failing to address the intrinsic evil and seriousness of contraception.

The 'garden of vocations', altar service, has been poisoned by many so that the ground is barren. This is because of many who exclude boys for serving at the Sacrifice of the Mass.

Many have failed to teach the truth about the Most Blessed Sacrament for decades.
