Ah, ...I do not agree with the archbishop...it is not bad for a
priest to fall in love with a woman...it is the Spirit's way, often of
opening him up to God. What is bad is that we do not discuss this within
priestly formation, and so the priest is torn when it happens to him.
Celibate
love must be white hot, for blue heat will not do. The loving celibate
must know how to love more, not less. The love must be so intense that
neither his own or the other person's life style is to be disturbed. But
loving...we are made for it...it must not be feared. It must instead
cauterize our celibate souls.
