Moreso, if you believe that they were required by God to be celibate, married to the Church, and that therefore any other marriage is in fact adultery.

But it would be a shame if our goal he was to see which side can smear the other side’s spiritual leaders more.

Apparently the wisdom of the ages and the final answer are contained within the one item you posted today at FR.

For centuries, even through today, the most well-educated men with the best intellects have been Catholic churchmen. In fact, the university itself is a conception and product of the Catholic Church.

To think your protestant author finally came up with all the answers in 1997.
