God wants you be married regardless if you’re serving in the Catholic Church. That’s just some rule they made up.
They are married to God. They wear a wedding ring on the ring finger of their righthand.
What an ignorant thing to say.
St Paul begs to differ.
Too bad you were not around to advice some of the saints who decided marriage was not for them.
Speaking of "just some rule they made up," please show us from Scripture where it says "God wants you to be married regardless". Please start your teaching with 1 Cor chapter 7. Pay particular attention to verses 6 through 8, because verse 6 clearly states that there is no "commandment" requiring individuals to marry, but only a "permission".
St. Paul would disagree with you.
Both men and women consecrating themselves to God as virgins was a feature of ancient Israel’s religion. Its greatest prophets Elijah, Elisha, Jeremy and John the Baptizer were such consecrated celibates.
St Paul several times speaks of women in the churches he founded being “enrolled in the order of virgins” or “enrolled in the order of widows”. These seem to have been proto-nuns living communally.
From the first century starting in Egypt, some Christians both men and women began living a celibate life of prayer in the desert, firstly alone as hermits, and later as communities of several such monks and nuns.
People become monks or nuns because they feel called to an intensive life of prayer and to following the example of Jesus in living the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience.
Consecrated / vowed chastity is a call, a gift, a charism, and a task. It is a call initiated by God the Father to follow His Son Jesus Christ, who is chaste, through the power of the Holy Spirit. “Through it the Spirit conforms us with the virginity / chastity of Jesus Christ; it brings us to ‘re-present in the Church’ the virginal / chaste lifestyle of Christ Jesus.”
