Well, the whole idea of priest celibacy is that the Church is the Bride of Christ and the priest is the representative of the Church. Of course, all priests are male and Christ was male...
Quote from: Jordan Duram
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

I thought nuns were the Brides of Christ. Of course, that would make priests the Side Dick of Christ.
