ON CELIBACY, AGAIN: A LETTER TO THE ECONOMIST (June 21, 2003)

How far has the Catholic church in America yet to fall (”Holy Rollers,” June 21, 2003)? It is plain to see that it will keep falling, and not only in America. But there is a charitable way to stop the fall of the Catholic church, as well as all the other churches that require celibacy of their priests: they should be outlawed outright. The monstrosity will fall prey to the law one way or another, sooner or later. Why prolong its agony?
