The American streets have one ethical viewpoint--among those that tend to stay out of beefs or reduce the beefs they are in--that is far superior to middle-class and wealthy America and all its self righteous crusaders.
That viewpoint which I adopt for myself, or try to, is sometimes called "stay in your lane." Or a better way of putting it all is do as you will, even if I totally am against it, and I will do as I will. If you want to be Lutheran and have female priestess and married gay priests then do that. If one wants to be Catholic rather than Greek Orthodox then do that. If you want to listen to country music rather than rap music then do that. If you prefer baseball over football then watch or play baseball.
American streets are dangerous and acrimonious enough. People who try keeping to this principle tend to reduce the amount of conflicts they are in.
So, my thing is this with plenty of non-Catholics who think what Church or even what religion you belong to matters not. Why the hell are you invested in a Holy Crusade, engaged ion starting acrimony, in worrying about Catholics being Catholics in Catholicism? Eh?
My sympathies lay with the Orthodox and I want the Catholics staying right in Catholicism. Staying in their lane. I'm fine with Protestants staying in their lane. I think some of the Protestant things are ridiculous but so what. I'm on no Holy Crusade to convert them, in fact I want them to stay in their own lane.
Catholicism? That's a big cult of confusion today. You can't know from one day to the next what Catholics will think. Come 5 years from now it would not surprise me if their Pope declared Jesus just a nice man that wanted other people to be nice. I'm all for Catholics staying in their lane and keeping that away from the Orthodox.
So, if a Catholic wants to become a monk, or if he wants to have 4 husbands rather than become a monk and get banged in the butt, why do you care?
But you do care. Largely because you are a sinner like me--not a saint--and that deep sinner in you stirs a hatred for virginity and purity. Like the devil you are pleased and at home with the two men butt banging each other but you are inflamed with hostility toward any knowledge of a virgin living off from society taking on personal sacrifices.
I know this because I'm a sinner and I have a nose for other sinners. The difference is I chose not to hate the virgins and celibate. It's like the drug addict who hates that his relative has not become drug addicted, so, they want to them to become hooked on what they are hooked on and try to lure them into getting hooked. A despicable act if you ask me. The thief on the cross that taunted Jesus rather than the one that recognized the innocence of Jesus and his own guilt.
Padre Pio the monk was like Jesus. I'm like the thief. I deserve my nailing to the cross. May Pio--better than me--pray for me.
