Today Pope Francis is in the news for suggesting that he's open to the idea of [heterosexually] married priests, a development I would personally welcome. That would channel the natural sexual energy of men (and hopefully one day women) into a healthier, more integrated life, thus eliminating the need to seek out sexual release elsewhere, triggering the rightful accusation of hypocrisy. Of course, gay priests would, like all gay people in the Catholic Church, still be left out in the cold without the benefit of sacramental marriage, so even with married priests we would still be reading lurid tales of gay extracurricular activities among priests on pages like these and be titillated and outraged all at the same time over the hypocrisy of it all. Until we as lay people keep petitioning for married priests, deacons, and even bishops (Anglicans have them, why not us?) we shouldn't be surprised to read stories like this one in the news. The burden is on us lay people to demand change.
