Unless you have sex, you're subhuman. Is that it? What does that make Our Lord, then?The exception tests the rule. Our Lord was unmarried, which is a permissable, but generally less desirable, option. He wasn't defauding a spouse in a sham marriage, the sin some (not I!) accuse Mary of committing.

Our Lord was unmarried, which is a permissable, but generally less desirable, option. The notion that remaining single is the "less desireable option" is contrary to 1 Corinthians 7 and the account of Mary and Martha in Luke 10.

Who says that being unmarried is less desirable? The prophets were both married and unmarried, and Elijah, I think, was not.
