It is impossible to respond to a poster who continually changes the question, all the while insisting that a)the question wasn’t asked and b)wasn’t answered, and c)if it was answered, it was in response to the wrong question or d)the issue was never addressed.
In such cases, the poster has an agenda that does not include asking questions and receiving answers.
All I’m looking for is evidence of a quote allegedly made my me that the Catholic church never permitted married priests.
It currently does not allow priests to marry, but that is not the same as not permitting, under certain circumstances, men who are married to remain so while becoming priests, as opposed to requiring them the only other option, that would be the sin of divorce. And a priest whose wife dies it not permitted to remarry, IIRC.
They are two different statements that the Catholic church does not ever allow married priests and that the Catholic church does not allow priests to marry. Even MD said essentially that.
If you can’t see that, I’m sorry to hear it. I’ll pray that you would be enlightened to see the not so subtle difference.
