[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-— Paul set out requirments for church leadership that the Catholic Church has blatantly disobeyed -—

Are you referring to the “husband of one wife?” This means that a priest can’t be remarried. Otherwise, Paul would have disqualified himself from being a bishop, since he was not married. And if you don’t think he was a bishop, just look it up.

>>Are you referring to the “husband of one wife?”<<

That's usually what Catholics would like us to focus on. It's so much easier than looking at the entire passage isn't it? Let's look at it all.

1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

Now, what were you saying?

[Elsie]

This means that a priest can’t be remarried.

Oh?It MEANS that he can't have TWO (or more) at a time.

Too bad your chosen religion has TAUGHT you wrong.
