I appreciate Catholic Church for acknowledging the Biblical space for lifelong celibacy as embodied by Jesus, Paul, etc…or St. Augustine upon conversion etc….plus the genuine, spirit-bonds between male and female celebrated in the Bible. Nowadays people are can’t fathom that Jesus didn’t have an affair with Mary Magdalene 🙄.
Who are the people you are referring to?
“people are can’t fathom that Jesus didn’t have an affair with Mary Magdalene”
And there’s the “fake news” that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. Who pulled THAT out of his ass? It’s not in Scripture ... not even implied.
