text: Monica, I kind of think the reason they don't know what the problem is or how to fix it is due to the fact they live among themselves and just reinforce their own weltanschaung (I've always loved that word, thank you for giving me the opp to air it out!).  I think married men will, by necessity, be more in tune with the ways of the world, how it works, and how to change things.  For what it's worth, I think this "viri probati" crap is just that...only married "proven men" can be priests??? They cannot possibly screw things up any more than the current collection, many of whom went to pre-seminary high school when they were 13 years old and have not been out in the world since.  If anything it should be a man with no real world experience who should be the "viri probati." (Hey you, you who've never accomplished anything in life to date, why should we ordain you?)
