“What happened to “obedience”? “
He trumped it with reasoning. There is no commandment to be celibate in the Bible.

If he were a Protestant then he would have a leg to stand on. He's a Roman Catholic and for him and other Catholics there is MORE than sola scriptura and he knows that. He is therefore using FALSE reasoning.

He might THINK he trumped it but he will go down badly...doubled and redoubled!

Rev. Hellmut Schueller should join the Orthodox Church where married men can become priests. If a man is a priest FIRST, he can't then get married but a married man? Piece of cake.

I doubt any Orthodox Church would WANT the dissident. Who needs it?

Maybe Father Schueller has an old-time girlfriend who is, um, pressuring him.
