Did you read the article. The authors mentioned asexuals too but did not get the irony that those persecuting them are, in fact, aces. The hetero priests mostly left to get married. For asexuals the charism of chastity is an easy fit, though not automatic. How it affects them is not how it is for the rest of us. From Marcus Aurelius to Augustine (who was even briefly married) to Aquinas, and back to Plato and his sexual idealism, asexuality is apparrent. Do you think it does not exist and all the non-gay priests are really dedicated heteros? Do you know many priests? I thought the ones with the gentle manner were gay but I have revised my imporession on the nature of their God-given sexuality as neither gay or straight. Would it shake your faith if there was such a cause to their abberant sexual musings on the married and gay?
