1. Only took an hour or less for Archbishop Hart of Melbourne to reject that idea.

No way - because, you see, there's "real value" in celibacy.

Archbishop Hart also stated that the commission "hasn't damaged the credibility of the church". I wonder what he's on?

He and so many like him will continue on their merry way, deaf, dumb, and blind to what people really think and say about them.

And for the record - I'm Catholic, go to Mass on Sundays, support Catholic charities, etc. There are some priests I really like and respect, but on the whole - no, not any longer. Not after what we've learned from this royal commission.

The time for changes is way overdue. And it must include married priests and women priests.
