the church doesn't forbid them to marry, they take a voluntary vow of celibacy and chastity. The church merely requires them to honor that vow......want to marry, don't take the vow. Nuns and priests who leave the ministry are allowed to renounce those vows and marry and procreate as they desire!!
Nonsense. It's not voluntary if it's mandatory for entering the priesthood or convent.
Nuns and priests who leave the ministry are allowed to renounce those vows and marry and procreate as they desire!!
And yet when Luther did it, he was condemned. How hypocritical.
