Ya never want to bet with me NL :)

I'll bet you toots because your track record of posting the truth is pathetic and you haven't improved your batting average today. In the future please provide the link to the dissenting sites that you plagiarize bogus information from.

306-Council of Elvira, Spain, decree #43: a priest who sleeps with his wife the night before Mass will lose his job.

Council of Elvira met from 295-302 AD.

Canon 43:

43. In accordance with the Scripture we shall celebrate Pentecost and not continue the false practice [of celebrating the fortieth day after Easter rather than the fiftieth]. If one does not accept this practice, it will be considered a new heresy.

"Try again and this time don't be so lazy in conducting your research."

Are your research and comprehension skills so poor or your work ethic so lazy that you believe that the only source of the proclamation of the Council of Elvira is the one used by RnMomof7 who posted the quote?

Facts about Council of Elvira: celibacy, as discussed in celibacy: Islam, Judaism, and Christianity:

...was particularly wrong for those who officiated at the altar was assimilated by Christians, and it thus became common for ordained men to give up sexual relations with their wives. The regional Council of Elvira in Spain (c. ad 306) decreed that all priests and bishops, married or not, should abstain from sexual relations.
