Well, if you understand the nature of the commitment of the priesthood, you would understand why priests are not allowed to get married.

_________________________________________

Yes I am very familiar with this doctrine. However do you understand this church practice was only in force since 1139 AD. And do really understand why they put this in force?

After all, many of Jesus’s disciples were married.

The reason for the change is not what you think. It was so the church could retain it’s wealth. Before the celibacy rule, the church lost wealth to the surviving spouse of the priest.

If you withhold something that is so natural to people, ESPECIALLY in men, like regular sex, it will come out SIDEWAYS.

People need to wake up to the greed not only in government but in religion...

The percentage of Catholic priests who molested children is much lower than the general population, public school system, etc. You children are safer with Catholic priests than in their parents home. So, don’t fall into the anti Catholic lies...just because you are not Catholic or Christain...

You are correct. However, there is much more the church can do to reduce this to almost zero. I do not think it will happen under our present quasi Marxist pope.

“Vatican II may have made it acceptable for admitted homosexuals to enter seminary”

I don’t think it did.

“but the problem of homosexuals in the Roman Catholic priesthood goes back at least a thousand years”

Satan is ageless and timeless. He has been attacking God’s work for much longer than that.

“However, until Vatican II,”

Do you know which of the documents of VatII legitimizes sodomy? I could be wrong, but I think that is one of the abuses blamed on VatII that doesn’t actually appear in the documents.

Fake history narrative. I believe that you sincerely believe it, but you should put more effort into researching it before you continue to spread it.

By all means, continue to believe in your church’s history.

At this point, what difference does it make?

I was (unfortunately) talking to a liberal this morning, and that was precisely her attitude.

Just as smug as she was wrong.

Vatican II doesn’t legitimize sodomy. My understanding of it is that they reasoned that, since a priest was to be celibate anyway, then a man with homosexual desires could still be a priest since he would not be acting on his desires. Acting on one’s sexual desires, whether normal or homosexual, was still forbidden.

This is one of the greatest falsehoods about gay priests that exists. Straight men don't "turn gay" just because they can't get married. If a straight man becomes a priest, but then can't contain himself, he's not going to run out and have sex with a man or a boy - he's going to run out and have sex with a woman. The world is full of women. If a priest has sex with a man or molests a boy, it's because he's HOMOSEXUAL to begin with.

____________________________________

I am not saying this at all... I am stating when the church denies men from sex/marriage and allow gay men in large numbers, you will have the sex abuse that is wide spread in the Catholic Church. Many straight men stay out of the Priesthood for the obvious reasons. And this what I mean by coming out sideways. The church tries to stop something natural between a man and a woman and tragically attracts gays and child abuse.

Lots of gay men like Kevin Spacey fill the church. These guys are into pederasty.

There are plenty of normal men who would be happy to be dedicated priests, with the vow of celibacy and all. The reason the Church has attracted gay men is because they allowed gay men in in the first place. The previous policy was that if you admitted to having homosexual inclinations, you could not be a priest, regardless. If you ever engaged in homosexuality, you couldn't be a priest or you were booted out if you were already a priest. Once the Church decided that homosexuals could be priests, not only did they open the door for their seminaries to become gay havens, but they ended up making straight men reluctant to join, because what straight man wants to be in a seminary with queers sodomizing each other all around them?

In other words, if the Catholic Church hadn't allowed gay priests, there wouldn't be that many gay priests. The marriage question is irrelevant to the gay problem.

The marriage question caused the gay problem. You can’t or refuse to see this. The Church is dying a death by their own doing. Allow priests their wives or continue the downward spiral.

“then a man with homosexual desires could still be a priest since he would not be acting on his desires.”

Unconscionable cynicism.

>>Did Kevin Spacey ever say anything about Trump?


Luke 17:1-4

7 Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3 So watch yourselves.

"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him."

NIV

Well, if Romans Chapter 1 is any indicator - it would be about the "point" a culture of self-worshiping perversion destroys itself by, among other things, subverting reproductive fitness.

 

XX + XX = FAIL

XY + XY = FAIL

XX + XY = Human

I believe Satan truly exists and is in full push right now...Priests, Popes, etc. are his favorite targets. I do not have much faith in our Pope either...but, the Catholic Church has survived other bad Popes and I believe will survive this one. Perhaps we shall see the Church survive even to the gates of hell as the Bible says...
