Tabloid coverage of a salacious scandal from 150+ years ago, breathlessly rolled out as troll-bait for calumny against the Catholic Church.
Would we do this to the Jews?
Do we want to be the Conservative National Perspirer?
Does FR need this?
Neither Judaism nor Christianity (sans Catholicism) force celibacy on those in particular ministries.
Nor do they have nuns.
So the question is moot.
Scripture does speak to this:
Matt 19:12 "For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it."I guess the words I put in bold give Catholicism an out.
Which begs the question, can women be eunuchs?
It is not true then it should not be here regardless, but the Catholic protest is rather self righteous as RCs incessantly use FR for their elitists one true church, and like liberals demand special rights, crying to the owner when offended (who has better things to do), while attacking those without it, with some stating Prots have not faith in no Christ at all, are completely biblically illiterate (one even called the KJV a Mickey mouse Bible), and which should be eradicated from the face of the earth, and affirm the Inquisition in killing souls such as us as heretics (and indeed the pope mandated RC rulers to exterminate the heretics, and some here take that to heart), besides parroting misrepresentations about Prot. faith or leaders.
Well...
Let's be safe and just jump on PROTESTants!
“Would we do this to the Jews?”
It’s done to Mormons three times a week. Deal with it.
