DOES A CATHOLIC PRIEST HAVE TO BE A VIRGIN TO BECOME A PRIEST?

Short answer, no.

No, certainly not. Besides, how do you tell if a man is "a virgin"?? Neither is it a requirement for a man or woman who wishes to enter a religious order.

"...how do you tell if a man is "a virgin"?? "--Paul.Uh.....that "million-mile" stare? Oops, sorry.
It would seem that a person's virginity or celibacy was of no consequence, once the person has decided on being a priest or nun.
