[ASTM366]

The Catholic Church has a mess on it hands because of its unbiblical adherance to a unmarried, celebate priesthood.

God did not create man to be alone, but to have a female mate.

As soon as they do away with this ridiculous requirement and the worship of Mary they will be miles ahead.

[Coleus]

You have the same problems with married clergy too. Also, why throw Mary into it?

I shall notify Jesus of your disapproval of his life choices, forthwith.

God did not create man to be alone, but to have a female mate. or two or three--although not all at the same time. That's how high the divorce rate is.

Unfortunately, the Church has many big problems right now, but it's reverence for Mary is NOT one of them.

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

The Catholic Church has a mess on it hands because of its unbiblical adherance to a unmarried, celebate priesthood.

You might want to read Matthew 19:12, 27-29 and 1 Corinthians 7:32-33. Read about Melchisedech, Elias, Paul, John the Baptist and Jesus, just to mention a few. They were all celibate and they are in the Bible. Also learn about fornication and the discussion of said topic in Scripture. Anyone who isn't married is called to be celibate. How convenient of you not to mention that.

As soon as they do away with this ridiculous requirement and the worship of Mary they will be miles ahead.

It's not ridiculous, it's Scriptural. Catholics don't worship Mary. We honor Her, just as Christ did and the fourth commandment instructs us to. Mary is after all, the Mother of all Christians. Luther, Calvin and Zwingli thought She was pretty special as well.
