Should the Catholic Church then allow DIVORCED PRIESTS??? SAME SEX MARRIAGE PRIESTS???

Apples and oranges. The default setting for maximum human happiness is one man, one woman, for life. An incredibly tiny percentage of people are called to forgo the normal state of life for the sake of Christ, but an even larger percentage depart from the norm in the other direction, to embrace sin.

BTW -- several rites in communion with Rome have married priests.

There is plenty of divorce in married clergy. It is not apples and oranges. It is a problem that has to be taken in to consideration when debating these types of changes.

Simple answers do no make for good solutions.....


Regarding the rites that do allow marriage. Any American who wants to be a married priest is FREE TO JOIN THAT
RITE.....and abide by that rites disciplines...that is an option that NEVER GETS ANY ATTENTION... I wonder why???
