God or the Girl

Has anyone seen this mini-series on A & E? The show follows four young men discerning whether to become a Catholic priest or to pursue the married life. It's a fascinating look at a dilemma faced by faithful young men in the Catholic church. I find it sad that Catholics are forced to make this choice. I do understand the idea of completely devoting yourself to God, but as a Protestant, I think that it's still possible to be fully devoted to God while still having a wife. There's been a lot of talk about potential changes in the Catholic church, but it seems unlikely due to the church leadership and the way that it perpetuates more leaders of a similar mindset.

When you say "I find it sad that Catholics are forced to make this choice" you're not being accurate or, I should say, you're totally wrong. Men (and only men can be priests in Catholic Church) are not forced to choose between a life dedicated to God or dedicated to women. As a matter of fact this is an exclusive-or but Catholic Church do not force anyone to become Catholic.
