Its just not consistent to accept married priests of other faiths upon conversion and then to expect your own to remain celibate.

And why affirm the Nicene creed? Its a man made saying not words from God.

OK, the Apostles' Creed if you prefer, it's older and contains all the same essential elements of faith (the Nicene Creed is a bit longer and more elaborate) and is traditionally supposed to have been composed by the Apostles themselves.

The Nicene Creed as a statement of faith is accepted by not just the Catholics, but also by the Orthodox, Lutherans, Episcopalians, and just about every Protestant denomination, including the Presbyterians, Methodists, and Reformed Churches. So it isn't like it's confined to Catholics or anything.

The married priests are a rare exception that acknowledges an emergency situation. They also can't be assigned to a regular parish as a general rule, because they can't support a family. So they are going to be doing chaplaincies and administrative positions mostly. Again, it's an emergency accommodation for a few folks who found themselves orphaned.

Is there some part of the Nicene Creed with which you disagree?

How do you know it doesn't belong in the NT between II and III John?

[A.A. Cunningham]

21 of the 22 Churches sui juris which comprise the Catholic Church ordain as a norm married men.
