306-Council of Elvira, Spain, decree #43: a priest who sleeps with his wife the night before Mass will lose his job.
Pay up. The reason had nothing to do with "touching Christ" as you contended. Like all celebrants he couldn't eat or drink the night before either. It was about sacrifice. By the way it wasn't until 325 (Council of Nicea) that ordained priests could not marry.
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.
