very good point I have a hard time imagining why a person with an average sexual drive would choose a life of celibacy to begin with, when there are so many other options out there for employment, and religious expression. It seems to select for a weird pool of applicants. We might be able to generalize about the kind of men who would apply to be priests, from the new data on priests, but that is about it, imo.

I think what I'm getting at by my own tortured cognitive process is that this specific situation with its abnormal lifestyle and expectations is a very poor one from which to draw any kind of generalizations regarding a far larger population. True. And not only that, but a good deal of the argumentation used against homosexuality amounts to people finding it abnormal. However... Playing cello in a string quartet is abnormal too. As is being born on February 14, 1977. And on and on.... The unnaturalness argument is a slightly different ball of wax, but much the same.. it's just wax. -Tom Not that I have anything against wax. ;)
