Thanks for everyone's great replies, for or against!
I think it's an important topic for Latin Catholics, but are blind to, or perhaps just ignorant.
My personal thoughts:
There's Church history, Popes and priest married in the Latin rite, it's history and part of the Church
A man does not stop being a man when they enter the priesthood. We are sexual beings as we are human.
I know successful Latin priest, with wife and children, a scholar, coming from an Anglican tradition. His parish is very proud, and pleased with him. A Latin priest could do just fine married with children.
A step over to the Lutherans, a branch off the Latin Church from Martin Luther, I also know married and unmarried clergy, through my work, writing. They are able to do their work as clergy, have children or not. (I don't know if Lutheran pastors are part of the Pastoral Provision by Pope John Paul II.)
