Catholics LOVE sex..we have more kids than virtually anybody else....(they're brought about by sex you know...Well no doubt the love sex...but they tend to be 2 child families theses day , which is why RC schools are closing... Muslims win the baby race today..
And yet the *church* prohibits sex for the least little reason and prohibits priests and nuns from having all those kids and glorifies virginity and celibacy even within marriage
Whats interesting is Rome used to have married priests (and popes) ..but the issue of priests leaving church property to their wives and children did not make Rome happy, so the "tradition" of "celibate " priests...began
Now keep in mind...only nuns take a vow of "chastity "...(no sex) ..priests on the other hand take a vow of "celibacy " ( no marriage) ..so there is no vow stopping a mistress or male partner ..just no legal tie that would allow inheritance .

Wow. Just... wow.
You really expect to be taken seriously, after posting sundry drivel like this? You supposedly decry "Catholic lies", and then turn around to throw out a nutty, irrational accusation which is more worthy of Jerry Springer that it's worthy of the mouth of a Christian?
Now keep in mind...only nuns take a vow of "chastity "...(no sex) ..priests on the other hand take a vow of "celibacy " ( no marriage) ..so there is no vow stopping a mistress or male partner ..just no legal tie that would allow inheritance .
The ignorance (to say nothing of the mendaciousness) of this comment is stunning, and only bigotry or stupidity could explain it adequately. I seriously wasted time trying to have a rational discussion with people who write such things?
I'm really quite glad terycarl took up the gauntlet for a while, and flushed out this sort of filth; it'll save me any more wasted effort. By their fruits, ye shall know them...
