The long-term effects of celibacy.

The Star Wars Trailer Is Out, And This Catholic Priest Can't Handle It

The Force is strong with this one.

A Dutch Catholic priest filmed himself watching the second trailer for the upcoming addition to the Star Wars saga for the first time -- and it soon became clear he’s a big fan.

Father Roderick Vonhögen’s eyes lit up with joy as soon as he pressed play on director J.J. Abrams’ teaser for "Star Wars: Episode VII -- The Force Awakens."

“Oooh,” the priest gleefully exclaimed as he basked in the glow of his computer screen. “New music!”

Based on the stereotype of Star Wars fans getting as much sex as Catholic priests (perhaps less, due to the lack of access to choirboys).
