Today, we read CCC, 1554 - 1589 and discuss the male priesthood and priestly celibacy. Many have said and continue to say, "The Church needs to get with the times and ordain women!" Others have asked and continue to question, "Why can't priests get married?" Like the other teachings and practices of the Catholic Church, these are not haphazard... Christ set things up in a certain way, and we - as "Christ-ians" - continue to live and learn from it.
