The Cardinal is said to have openly refused. But at least he let them vocalize.... which is normally not permited in dictatorships, communism, or the church.

Do I sound harsh? Maybe blunt. Posted is consistent with facts and stated without spin or politeness. If horny priests only had a spouse to remind 'their Holiness' where reality lies.

I wonder when the Church will finally excommunicate me - an honor akin to being on Nixon's Enemies List which I also never achieved.
I really think the problem is due to the whole celibacy issue. Priests, etc., should be allowed to marry, have sex, and have kids and be good parents. It's only right if they believe that are supposed to represent the kind of life their followers should lead in regards to their actions in their life and faith.
