Should Celibate Priests Have A Sexual Preference? I hope not.

There is way too much talk about sex and priests these days. Someone with a loud bull horn needs to wake up the Roman Catholic Church and tell them that if priests are to be celibate that they have no wish to be sexual in any way! Period. End of story.

But, no. The Catholic Church in regard to its priests sound more like a Salt 'n Peppa song ("Let's Talk About Sex, baby..."), than a serious intellectual and spiritual powerhouse for Christ. Stop playing this record about homosexual and heterosexual priests if they indeed are to be celibate.

If the priest is to be celibate as the Roman Catholic Church demands, then I don't want a homosexual priest and I definitely don't want a heterosexual priest. I just want a priest that has no interest in sex at all. Because if they aren't going to get any, don't talk about it.

Let's push the envelope of similes: That's like telling a person who doesn't smoke and will never intend to smoke, to state if they are a Marlboro man or a Winstons lover, or if they prefer cigarettes over cigars or tobacco chew. As a person who has zero yearnings to smoke or imbibe in tobacco products, I can tell you that I have no idea and zero interest in preference for smoking.

If a man wants to be a celibate priest in the Roman Catholic Church, then they should also have NO SEXUAL PREFERENCE AT ALL. There is NO REASON to have a sexual preference in a celibate clergy. They ain't gettin' any, my brother, so cut the gist. They should NOT BE HOMOSEXUAL. They should NOT BE HETEROSEXUAL. They should NOT BE BISEXUAL. They should be a priest. Period.
