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.
You still haven’t explained why, if perpetual virginity is an evil, both Jesus and St. Paul recommended it.
Right. Like when he says to beat your swords into plowshares, and to beat your plowshares into swords?
Right. He never, never, ever, ever says one thing in one circumstance, and another thing in another circumstance.
You still haven't explained why both Jesus and St. Paul recommend perpetual virginity.
BTW: How does the Catholic Church “force” priests to be celibate? That would require the Church to FORCE men to become priests. Do they use weapons? What kind of weapons? Guns? Do men enter the seminary and get ordained at gunpoint? Do they beat men in secret dungeons until they consent to enter the seminary?
Don’t let this question distract you from explaining why JESUS and ST. PAUL both urge believers to remain unmarried AND perpetually continent?
