We Catholics need a leader for a coup. It’s become past obvious this man is not a pope but an infiltrator.

I’m sure God would give us the nod on this one.

But who are our highest up allies.

First thing is annihilate the gay mafia in the vatican.

Take a second look at that priest not being able to get married thing. That WAS NOT the deal since day 1. Didn’t happen till many centuries later. 1139, to be exact.

I believe you're mistake about this Hang on now, it;s not just a technicality From Day One married men were eligible to be ordained priests. BUT priests, once ordained, were not to get married.

It was the sequence pf thing.

Married --> priest OK

Priest --> married never OK

Like for the Permanent Deacons in our day.

I’m not Catholic, but I have, over the years, told 2 or3 Catholics about priests historically having been married, and they look at me like I’m crazy. The only benefit I can see for non-married priests, is that the church would have to pay them a living wage if they were married. The Bible says, “it is better to marry than to burn”. And what’s even worse, men who become deacons have to swear not to remarry if their wives die. What is the point of that? Even the Bible says a bishop should be the husband of one wife. Apparently, they’d rather cut off their nose to spite their face, as short of priests as they are. And now that they accept Episcopalian and Russian Orthodox, those priests are allowed to marry. Oh, well, as I said, I’m not Catholic, but things like that don’t make sense to me.
