>What would you accept as "reliable evidence"?

I would accept a case study where it could be proven that celibacy does have
results that non-celibats cannot acheive.  The fact that there is no celibate
in the christian tradition that has done anything not duplicated by non-
celibates pretty much leaves that one out. (Protestants can match anything the
Roman Catholics have done and they do not honor celibacy in any way.  It is,
in fact, looked upon as a spiritual perversion).

All I am hearing is blind assertions and argument by authority, neither of
which constitute reliable proof.
