Male Father and female mother? So when are priests going to be allowed to marry? If they want to be known as “Father” then they should recognize their role/duty.

Did Jesus not call God "Father"?

When did God get married? Or does He not recognize His role/duty?!?

That being said, I think priests should be able to marry. Or not marry. But whatever the case, they should be men, in every moral sense of the word.

(Caveat: I'm not Catholic anymore, so take all of the above with a grain of salt.)

A rather stupid and ignorant statement. Sorry Bob, back on the Depakote for you.

That would certainly rout out the queers, now wouldn't it.

Vowed celibates --- single for the Kingdom --- see themselves as walking on the same path as St. Paul and Our Lord Himself --- these, anyway, are their role models.

I assume that, as you want to be recognized as "Bipolar," you're filling your role accordingly.
