It's not. Because the issue is not about married priests. it's about the priesthood itself. If anything this is one of the more clearer examples of projection on the part of protestants. It's a hot button issue for them. Because the priesthood is set apart from the world it is attacked. It is seen as a vehicle by which the dark forces of the world can infiltrate. Destroy the priesthood, destroy the Sacraments, destroy the Church.
The MSM hates the Church and wants to bring it down because it stands against their agenda.
Protestants hate the Church and want to bring it down because total depravity demands it.
Catholics are merely defending the priesthood. And so some people will concern troll over the "issue" of married priests. Which is no issue to the Church at all.
Married priests are not going to destroy the priesthood.
Having a married clergy,however, prevents the priesthood from being a safe haven for homosexuals and pedophiles.
The true church, the true body of Christ, is not going to be destroyed if the Catholic priesthood is destroyed. Christ said He would build His church and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. If y’all think that Christ’s church can be destroyed by destroying the Catholic priesthood, y’all don’t really understand what the church is and how it works.
And HE is the great high priest and all believers are kings and priests. (1 Peter 2:5,9; Revelation 1:6 and 5:10)
Good post. I never thought of it that way.
Well put!
Lighten up, Francis, you're getting hyperbolic! This non-Catholic Christian (Protestant is a term you guys use for ALL those who claim to be Christian but who aren't Roman Catholic) doesn't HATE the Catholic church, just the false and accursed gospel CatholicISM teaches. If you're looking for depravity, that church doorstep needs a good sweeping.
