It has been a bee in my bonnet since I found out about it in articles in the Post Outlook section and America Magazine just after the turn of the Millennium.  It has been in my book and on my blog post on morality ever since.

So, on the subject, what is your justification for priests avoiding procreative sex with their wives (which we have in the Catholic Church) besides the fact that in ancient times, they could not shower beforehand?  Was it or was it not the fact that congress with a woman rendered a priest impure for the sacrifice?  Be honest.  How can that not be the key question regarding whether sex itself in an impurity aside from procreation?  How is it not the whole tap root for the perversion of morality that comes out of Rome on these issues?

I must have misread the America on anathema, it was Rome that anathemized  non-continence.  Not a point in your favor.  

Pius condemned secret societies in QC, especially the Masons, who were the backbone of Italian nationalism.
