High-ranking Catholic priests push for an end to celibacy

[Willie Pep]

4. Yeah I know a married Catholic priest who used to be an Anglican clergyman.

I always wonder if ending the celibacy rule would increase vocations to the priesthood, particularly in Western countries. I knew a number of guys I went to school with who were going to seminary but dropped out when they met a woman and decided to get married. I suppose the pro-celibacy argument is that these men I knew didn't have a strong calling to the priesthood if they chose the married life over the priesthood. But is that a choice we should force people to make? The Orthodox churches have married priests and they seem to be doing fine. High Church Anglicans too.
