Priests are supposed to be celibate. Should’ve been removed just for living a lying lifestyle.

I’d like to know how they think they can have God’s blessing on the church.

1. Priests are supposed to be celibate. Should’ve been removed just for living a lying lifestyle.
2. I’d like to know how they think they can have God’s blessing on the church.

1. Henry VIII changed all that "nonsense" about celibate priests when he took the good, sturdy and ancient Catholic Church in England and made it what HE wanted. The king/queen thus became/are/will always be head the Church of England, with an "archbishop" of Canterbury in charge. A Pope, the successor of Peter, GONE with a "royal decree." Poof.

2. I would like to know that too. I THINK the two men have fallen into the sin of what Pope Benedict called "relative morality." Benedict called that the worst problem of our modern era.
