Weeding Out the Weirdos

If the Catholic Church allowed their priests to marry and have a family, a wider pool of potential priests would be allowed to join the priesthood. The shortage of Catholic Priests has forced the church to accept priests who are possibly not mentally fit for the occasion. A wider selection means less pedophiles. Although, I must admit, that pedophiles exist within married families, but there is no way the ratio is comparable between married and non married individuals. Married priests in the parishes will not only serve as role models for the Catholic community, but help create a new image for priests in general. The new image may attract a different candidate for the priesthood.
