honestly, i feel you need to look up the word “denial” in whatever language you feel most comfortable with

On the contrary, I’m looking at the Greek, which is the original. I don’t see how I’m adding or changing words, when I am going on what they wrote.
As for denial, I once believed in sola scriptura, and even then I wouldn’t have found your arguments compelling. You are reading into the text what you want to find there.

Grace your FOS and know nothing of the Catholic Church. Schools are closed when enrollment does not warrant keeping them open.

However, your comments have been so ignorant and moronic that I felt the need to chime in. How many of these gay/celibate/pedophile priests do you know personally? I have met and been friends with literally hundreds in my lifetime and I was never molested, hit on or even made to feel uncomfortable. The priests I have known were men who sacrificed their lives to the service of their communities. Most were on call 24/7 to be with their parishoners in some of the worst moments of their lives. They live lives of sacrifice and service that leaves no time for a family of their own (which is the reason for the vow of celibacy in the first place). Their reard of late has been to be branded with a scarlet P due to the actions of a statistical few. Well put.

My children went all through Catholic schools and universities and were never hit on or molested.

As a matter of fact, I did go with my first instinct. I stayed with the faith that transcends the weakness of a few of it’s priests. Your flippant response pretty much confirms who I’m dealing with. Enjoy your smug self-rightousness.

The apostles, (which a lot of the priesthood is modeled against)(sic)
Modeled after.
and most of them were married men too.
Not according to Scripture. Out of the 12 we only know definitively that, at one time, Peter was married.
The Catholic Church needs to do one or all of the following:
The Church has survived nearly two millenia without letting people like you dictate what to do but I'll refute your nonsense anyway point-by-point.
1. Let Priests Marry and encourage Married priests.
21 of the 22 Churches sui juris which comprise the Catholic Church ordain, as a norm, married men.
2. A far better vetting process for weeding out perverts from the priesthood.
The vetting process isn't the problem. Disobedient Bishops who have thumbed their noses at the Church's ban on ordaining homosexuals is the problem. By the way, what kind of vetting process do these or these organizations have and where are your bullet points telling them what to do to clean up their act?
3. Give them drugs to kill their sex drive preemptively.
What does your doctor prescribe for you?

Using your logic, Elizabeth Taylor should be a marriage counselor considering she has so much experience.

I have difficulty describing celibacy as a gift, much less even considering practicing it.A common trait of those who allow their libido to do their thinking for them.

You assume too much.

The vast majority of the translations I have read specifically use the term “wife”. If you choose to discount that, that’s your prerogative. It remains that there is a Biblical reason to believe Peter was married, and there is no reason whatsoever to assume his wife was dead.

Your rant deserved nothing more than a flippant response ... so that’s what it received. You’re aruging about pedophilia when I made no mention thereof.
Christianity transcends personal weakness, and always will. But when a singular entity claims to be the sole representative of the Almighty on this earth, as does the Vatican, rampant “personal weakness” within their ranks may indicate that their monopoly isn’t quite so ironclad.

Where did I say that Peter was not married? I’ve said it over and over again that he was married. Scripture makes no mention of her, even when Jesus comes to visit her mom. Therefore it makes sense to me that when he became Christ’s disciple, she had already passed away.

Well then. Cite please to show that the Vatican actually says that they are the sole representative of God on Earth. :)
