And, is it also reasonable to assume that many who one may feel, or even state they are celibate (at fear of losing a job or status) are not celebate at all? And, is it not reasonable to speculate (though I caution against using a statistic) that some priests may have a different meaning of what being celibate really is, as the former Bishop (I earlier linked to) seemed to find in his experience in the RC church.

I recall former USA President Clinton had a number of definitions on what sexual acts "having sex with a woman" included:)
