Or just ordain women. I am sure gay priests would be fine with it. I am also sure that it would freak out the unintegrated asexuals in the priesthood who operate under the illusion that Christ was just like them. He was not. Pharisees were married.
Marriage is no longer an image for the Church and Christ (remember, that model us pastoral, not revelatory) because of equality in both gay and straight marriage. No one is in-charge anymore. Likewise, the hierarchy has modeled itself after the Gentiles in giving themselves honors in exactly the way Jesus said not to do.
As for the latest Roman Missal, it was a counter-revolutionary attempt to pretend Vatican II never happened. It is hardly worded to express the real persona Christi. It is part of the desire for a Church of Magic rather than of Faith and miracles. It takes us away from the Kingdom of God that Jesus spoke of.
