One Last Post for the Day

In reading through some of the writers for Catholic World News, a pen name Diogenes notes this:

"Can you imagine what kind of candidates we would attract to the U.S. Senate, for example, or to any other high-ranking political, corporate or academic office if a commitment to lifelong celibacy were an essential, non-negotiable requirement?"

-- Father Richard McBrien, addressing the Voice of the Faithful convention yesterday.

At least an interesting thought in light of all the apologies etc. that seem to be sprouting on Capitol Hill.
