Sex runs rampant in the Catholic Church

Pauls instructions to Timothy were not absolute in that bishops, priests and deacons had to be married. The instruction was regarding divorcés and polygamists. Those selected could not be married more than once. Celibacy is a higher calling, re Jesus Christ, Melchizedek, John the Baptist, the Apostles and several others.

. the Roman Catholic Church has not done anyone a favor by insisting on an unnatural state for its clergy!

A specious argument at best. No one has a right to be ordained and a vow of celibacy is one that is made freely. Anyone who thinks that celibacy is the problem is ignorant.

I told CHB to remove me from the email list. The nuns, priests and dead baby in the basement story by town idiots
was something the little non Catholic kids used to learn decades ago and they whispered it to the Catholic kids.
The teachers in most Catholic schools are called lay teachers. Maybe this dimwit thought they mean lay teachers?

If you advertize for applicants to a certain job, saying that the rquirements are 1) male 19-25 years old, 2)not interested in getting married. Guess who you are going to attract? Fags!

I can see it as a crime against the church, but sex as a crime against God???

The seminary in Cincinnati is full of the light in the loafers crowd. The church and its adherents are simply in denial.

[CCWoody]

The difference is, that as a Protestant, if I find that my pastor (or any member) is engaged in sexual immorality, I can assemble the church and invoke 1 Co 5 if needed to solve the problem. I don't have to endure it for years while friends of the predator protect him and then threaten me with excommunication if I try to either expose it or move to another church.

They forgot the beatings of nuns to force them into prostitution. And the one who got walled up alive for refusing. CHB has just blown all their credibility with me - are they planning to report on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion next?

[Capt. Tom]

You seem to be suggesting that if a Protestant makes a charge againts the RCC, whether true or not, then he is filthy and hateful. Perhaps you should apply the filthy and hateful label to the predators of the RCC who are actually pederasts and/or rapists and/or fornicators.

Woody it was a spoof meant for older Catholics who would get it. Do I have to attach a </sarcasm tag to everything? -Tom

Sex is not a crime against God, but violation of their solemn oath before God is a crime against God.

[stuartcr]

Why would anyone make an oath to God, especially one that denies a biological function?

[Petronski]

It's a calling. And it is a voluntary oath.

[stuartcr]

From God? Why would God want someone to deny a function that He gave them?

[Bluntpoint]

Speaking about the Cincinnati seminary only, this oath means nothing today.

When you witness first hand what the church has to accept to keep up this fiction, it is very sad and delusional.

[eastsider]

Why would anyone make an oath to God, especially one that denies a biological function?

"For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it." (Mt19:12 (NIV))

[ACAC]

It is interesting that Catholics think those verses mean their church.

[stuartcr]

I never gave it any thought before, but not being a eunuch...now that's certainly another thing I'm thankful to God for.

[ACAC]

Every church I have ever been to teaches that sex outside of marriage is wrong. It is pretty hard to get that wrong.
