A recent article by America magazine is taking the statistics I cite
below as the swan song for a celibate priesthood. As usual, the mainstream media takes it and runs with it, in completely the wrong direction.
This article, far from being 'food for thought,' is the literary equivalent of starvation. There are so many erroneous and far-flung notions that I don't have time to comment on them. It's a useful benchmark for how little the secular media understand our Church.
