Football?

It's also football season. Here's an article from Touchstone from last year when I still had a subscription. I'm going to have to scrounge up enough money to renew.
Anyhow, here's a quotation to get you to read the article, for all of you, that like me, are not interested in professional sports.

"And what are the insights to be gleaned from this strange but obvious spirituality of football? This for one: Priests must be men. I do not say males. I grow weary of the brittle arguments that rest two thousand years of our tradition, which is to say two thousand years of common sense, upon the arcana of sexual symbolism. The only way the sexual symbolism can work, for us embodied human beings, is if it reminds us of sexual reality anyway. If a priest is a male but not much of a man, I had rather he were a woman; at least I’d know where I stood."
-Anthony Esolen
