Celibacy is not hereditary.
Personally I think that celibacy is a gift to the Church. I am not in agreement (with those who say) optional celibacy should be permitted.
Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston:
The Church needs a strong and comprehensive policy to address bishops' violations of the vows of celibacy in cases of the criminal abuse of minors and in cases involving adults.
To suppose such a thing possible as a society, in which men, who are able and willing to work, cannot support their families, and ought, with a great part of the women, to be compelled to lead a life of celibacy, for fear of having children to be starved; to suppose such a thing possible is monstrous.
