Yes, and its a choice I choose not to make right now.
Maybe in the future I'll feel like it, but at the moment I dont feel like it.

Backpedaling bullshit. Game, set, match.

If I wanted I could also opt out of being heterosexual, and become a celibate (on the whole priests make this choice)

Priests do not simply "stop" being sexual beings. That's the point. Priestly celibacy is a sacrifice, a sign of devotion, precisely -because- they can't just "choose" to not be sexual creatures. The torment/discomfort is the sacrifice, part of the Seal of the Priest's Devotion (as well as a practical measure to ensure that sinecures, bishoprics, etc. don't become hereditary feifdoms). This is also why lots of folks think Priestly celibacy should be done away with: because it -can't- be switched off and plenty of Priests can't handle the strain. Have you now moved beyond firearms, bears, dogs, and women and onto Catholic Discipline in your quest to pontificate on matters you know nothing about?
