The Church, celibacy and canon law: a brief history

I REFER to the article

He claims that the Church’s rules on clerical celibacy are to blame for many problems over the centuries, including clerical concubinage, homosexuality and paedophilia. How odd that he should accept as dogma this discarded Freudian fundamentalism.

However, I agree completely with him that many of the people who were ordained priests over the centuries were just not cut out for the celibate life.
