So what? Nobody doubts that the Old and New Testaments teach that marriage is a good thing.

Tell me why JESUS and ST. PAUL both recommended perpetual virginity, which YOU labeled an evil, with evil consequences, and inviting God’s wrath.

God does not contradict himself. The Roman Catholic Church is misinterpreting His word by forcing priests to be celebate. Men were made to find a wife. When they do not, fornication (sexual sin) results. Peter, the first Pope, was married and so were all the other men in the Bible. Why is the RCC not following their shepherd? There are over 3000 lawsuits against the RCC for pedophile priests. Look up “Catholic Church sexual abuse cases” to get numbers. Why do I know these things? I used to be Catholic.
