This batch are all Presbyterians.

If they were allowed to marry, none of this would happen and they would be full of the Christian love of God almighty and full of Christian charity to their fellow men...

...reserving their deepest reserves of Christian love for Quakers, Baptists, and Catholics...

such as Michael Wigglesworth (when he wasn't writing about his male students, he wrote this):

Oddly enough, even though he married, he didn't consummate the marriage. No matter, at least he was married. Hmm, so was James VI of Scotland, who became James I of England, and was a public catamite (even though he actually did father children) and wrote the KJV. So the ones who disapprove of homosexuality with adults and children lionize somebody that did it publically and believe that his political Bible is the best English Bible that ever existed.

Oh yes, where were we? Christian love for all men...

I'm interpreting that remark as sarcasm.

There are many Catholic young men who revere God and would love to be pastors. The problem for these boys is that they also like girls and find it impossible to give up the thought of a wife and family.

These boys could also be kind and loving pastors. I don't believe any passages in the Bible are opposed to that concept.

Come now Mark, there is no evidence that James I wrote even one word of the KJV. It was written by 47-54 scholars unlike the Latin Vulgate which was written by Jerome.

[Boogieman]

“...and wrote the KJV.”

That’s nonsense. King James merely authorized the translation, at the request of bishops and theologians. There were 54 scholars involved in the translation, but King James wasn’t one of them. I think he was probably too busy, you know, kinging.
