Pope Francis was forced to apologise in May last year for using an offensive slur during a discussion with bishops about admitting gay men into seminaries.

    Eh, celibacy is one of those things that’s as difficult as the nature of the person makes it.

    I’d be fucking miserable being celibate. The only time in my life I have been, it was brushed because of significant health issues, and it was still difficult, though not as bad as it could be.

    But I know people that are fine not only never having sex, but not even masturbating. It just isn’t something they care about.

    But, when the reason you’re celibate is because you’re forced to bury your sexuality gay, straight, bi, or otherwise, that’s not just frustrating. Doesn’t matter if you have a good motivation, the fact that it isn’t really a choice grinds people down. It’s an external thing that says no fucky-fucky for you.
