Regarding the Pope. I agree he’s a socialist and I wish they’d bring Pope Benedict XVI back out of retirement. However, Pope Francis made three observations about clerical celibacy which are entirely correct:
1) The policy is a discipline of the Church, not a dogma or doctrine.
2) The policy was implemented many centuries after the founding of the Church.
3) The policy is always subject to change.
All true.
Doesn’t matter how common it was; it was a condemned abuse. You know that.
If you want to be a protestant, be a protestant. Stop sowing confusion.
