Boston Archdiocese’s newspaper questions celibacy: “In a special issue on the priest sex abuse scandal, the official newspaper of the Boston Archdiocese said the Roman Catholic Church must confront the question of whether to continue to require priests to be celibate.

In its lead editorial published Thursday, The Pilot newspaper said the celibacy issue raises tough questions such as whether there would be fewer scandals if celibacy were optional for priests and whether the priesthood attracts an unusually high number of homosexual men.” The Nando Times
