The church must look for men whom children can respect -- ''men who would be good husbands, men who would be good fathers."
''If we ordain men with pathologies and difficulties, they will draw the same kind."
''Don't just pray for priests, pray for priests of good quality."

A Saintly Salmagundi points out that the Holy Father echoed this sentiment in his General Audience May 5, 1982.
The renunciation (of marriage for the sake of the kingdom) is possible only when one admits an authentic knowledge of the value that is contained by the nuptial disposition of masculinity and femininity to marriage. In order for man to be fully aware of what he is choosing (continence for the dake of the kingdom) he must also be fully aware of what he is renouncing.Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I tried to make the same point also here.
