“Are you suggesting that Mark Driscoll has been involved in sexual improprieties?”

Forgive me, no. I was responding to (Catholic) Salvation’s quip about the celibate (priests) vis a vis the married (Protestant) Driscoll.

Driscoll is known for his frank talk about sexuality, and his admitted enjoyment of it within marriage. This, per the quip, makes him the furthest thing from celibacy (in the Catholics sense of unmarried priests).

Driscoll’s not my problem, but he gets a lot of press.

Thank you for the clarification - I see your point, now (although I should have seen it before).

One of the things that I have enjoyed in Mark Discroll sermons and lectures is his views on God's gift of sexuality. He seems to have a good grasp on the appropriate Biblical limitations and the freedom that exists within those limitations. Frankly, IMO, his views on the marital sexual issues are much more Biblical than the typical sermons which seem to be far too influenced by Puritanical views.
