Enough already!!
I’m a Catholic and it is NOT a normal state for a man not to have sex his entire life.
As things stand now, the priesthood is a magnet for child molesters.
The reason they disallowed marriage was to not lose property in divorces.
It’s TIME to change this requirement.
I have an uncle who’s 85 and devout and never got married and swears he never had sex. He said he was so tempted through the years that he thought of castration many times. Come on, man.
How will marriage end pedophilia?
Quite a commentary on the lives of St. Paul and Our Lord Jesus Christ. And many thousands of other good men who lived their lives in pure, consecrated celibacy.
And do you think marriage would have cured this fellow of his tendency to pederasty? It's never been known to do so before.
Catholic? You're a perfect Freudian.
So in your opinion monasteries and convents are hotbeds of repressed sublimated urges? Go stay in one. I dare you.
Then come tell me how "abnormal" it is.
It isn’t just the priesthood. Male homosexuals have invaded every organization on the planet filled with young boys. It occurs in all churches, the Boy Scouts, and schools. It is a ubiquitous behavior in male homosexuals because it is part of their derangement.
