How many children did the bishop have? Which bishop? Naumann? None, as far as I know.

Neither did Jesus or St. Paul, both of whom were, like Naumann, celibate.

Celibates aren't supposed to have children.

Nobody knows if Paul had ever been married or not. Scripture doesn't tell us.

Catholics sure make a lot of assumptions about things to support their theology.

And so what if they were celibate? Does that make them more spiritual than a married person who is not?

Cause you all sure seem to treat it as if it's a virtue of some kind, just like sex is bad or something.

And you KNOW this about Paul; HOW?
