Priestly celibacy is not what is at stake; neither is Doctrine, Tradition or the Magisterium. Well, that is to say, they are at stake and very seriously, because the conception of the Church is at stake and, with it, the Church herself.
The main error of a Protestant is not that he doesn’t “believe in the Virgin,” that he doesn’t “believe in the Pope,” that he doesn’t “believe in the Saints.” We are so obsessed by self-preservation and the struggle, that we are incapable of seeing the contexts. The Protestant’s main error (not of those that don’t suffer it, of course) is absolutism, the inability to analyze, to discern, and to see the broad picture. They focus on verses they select, to make them their dogma, discarding those they don’t agree with and <deaf> to the voice of God in their soul and in time.
The Protestant Syndrome Is the Same as Ours
