The Rev Tom Farley begins communion for the congregation in Portland, Ore., Sunday. Farley, ordained in 1979, is the latest priest to leave the Catholic Church in the United States, which is struggling with a severe clergy shortage and declining numbers. "I leave because of a private longing in my heart and soul that I have ignored or suppressed to my detriment," he wrote in the letter. "I love priestly ministry but I cannot live this life of celibacy." (AP Photo/The Oregonian, Randy L. Rasmussen)

Question: Two decades ago, the late Bill Wassmuth of St. Pius X Catholic Church/CdA left the ministry to marry. Do you think the Catholic Church will be forced to rescind its position on celibacy to keep the priesthood stocked and vibrant?
