Yet so many of the comments are snide and negative. You take Fr Scalese to task because he says that in his experience mandatory celibacy is a deal-breaker for people considering a vocation. That's not his fault. He has committed himself to celibacy, so why are you taking it out on him? So many blogs with a Catholic theme lack any of the charity that out to characterize our discourse.
