Overheard: Clerical Celibacies

Roman cleric 1: So this flamboyant and very gay seeming Orthodox priest is telling me about his wife and kids, and then he starts bad-mouthing priestly celibacy.

Roman cleric 2: Did you ask him if his wife was in favor of it?

I'm completely in favor of celibate married priests. But for some reason that doesn't seem to be what people have in mind when they discuss allowing priests to marry! :-)

Hahah Roman cleric 2 for the win.
