I think they should lift the ban. It really makes no sense if you examine the beliefs carefully. It is indeed a good theory, but not everyone who could be a great priest can abide by it. And should a good priest be passed up over this vow?

Being in Boston where everyday another priest is removed for child abuse, I think this vow should be lifted or at least seriuos investigated.

That being said, celibac or not, there is no reason for a priest to touch a child inapproriately.

Also, what are your views on how the Church and Cardinal Law are handling the situation?
