they choose to become a priest. . . .nobody forced them.

True and they humans too and sometimes we humans just can't surcome to temptations. That's why I think the church should stop that practice.


At least it was with a female this time and not a young boy

Whats wrong in kissing and handling her ? or is she a married woman? does ur bible prohibit d mingling of male and chic

who would blame him?

he is human with red blood running through his veins so he get those sexual urge too just like everyone

After watching the whole scandal I feel so sorry for him, I pray he don't kill himself.

I don't see why he should not get married, times have changed. I'm sure God will forgive him.

of course God will forgive after all he knows the weakness of the humans he created. In the video the man even stated that he wants to get married someday and start a family. so i guess this gives him the perfect opportunity to do so. though this will still not change the rules of the CC.

wow that priest is hot.

People like that shouldnt be in the priesthood or else they should be allowed to marry.

The guy is too handsome abeg.

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. He doesnt stand a chance- women would make a beeline for him.

Women too can be little devils, what woman knowing that this dude is a priest would be kissing in a public beach. Very sad

its really not fair to make such a handsome and stunning man a celibate priest.

Imagine Mario Lopez joining the priesthood- same problem.

its inevitable, imo. They should forgive him- _{after all some of the olden days popes had kids talkless sex.}


He broke his vows but God is forgiveness and let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

To err is human, to forgive divine.

Gosh, some of these white Puerto Rican guys can make somebody miss road Them too fine!

it is wrong because Chastity was one of the vows they took when they were being ordained. so as a human it is normal to have those feelings but as a priest he is expected to at least try to resist the temptations. but isn't always the case.

they dnt get married. however, in some instances some catholic priest have family and are still priest

the church is probably going to send him away kind of in a secluded place in order for him to reflect on his sins and truly decide what he wants to do. either to leave , . or . .

it is definitely hard to resist the sight of a fine thing, i think God understands as long as he- the priest is truly sorry for his acts

Any priest can go out and have a family and still claim to be a priest, but I don't think he can still be recognized as a priest by the Vatican.

there are some like that in central America.

There's another one in east or central Africa, though I think most times the priests leave the church after being exposed.

In these two instances I know of, they (the priests involved) started other Catholic churches which have been branded heretic or something by the main body.

OgidiBoy:

true.

What instance can they have family and still be priests?

Unless they were married before taking the oath?

"Married priests already minister in the Catholic Church, both East and West. Addressing the married clergy of the Eastern Catholic churches, the Second Vatican Council exhorted “all those who have received the priesthood in the married state to persevere in their holy vocation and continue to devote their lives fully and generously to the flock entrusted to their care” (Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests,” No. 16). That exhortation now applies to the more than 100 former Anglican priests and Lutheran ministers who have entered the Catholic Church, been ordained and now serve in the Latin rite. As we face the challenges of the priest shortage, some of the more than 16,000 permanent deacons in the United States, many of them married, who experience a call to priestly ministry might be called to ordination with a similarly adapted discipline. In addition, the views and desires of some of the more than 25,000 priests who have been laicized (and are now either single or married) should also be heard".


"But the Church seems to contradict its own rules by allowing married clergy from other Christian faiths to convert to the Catholic priesthood. Because of such sanctions, there are about 100 U.S. Catholic priests who are married."

Married Catholic Priest Ordained via Little-Known Exception

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) - The Rev. Bill Lowe was ordained as the first married priest in the Los Angeles Roman Catholic Archdiocese.

Lowe, who retired after 32 years as an Episcopal priest in Newton, Mass., was ordained Sunday by Cardinal Roger Mahony by way of a little-known pastoral provision allowing married clergy who have left the Episcopal Church to enter Catholic priesthood. The celibacy requirement is waived.

More than 70 men have used the 27-year-old provision to become Catholic priests in the United States. Church officials said Lowe was the first member of the Los Angeles Catholic Archdiocese to be so ordained, and Mahony said the action should be viewed as an exception, not an indication the church is looking to bring in more married priests.

Lowe, 68, has been married 44 years to his wife, Linda. The couple, who have lived in Camarillo for four years, have three adult children and five grandchildren.

More than 700 people were on hand to witness the father become a father at Padre Serra Parish in Camarillo.

"We don't know what God has in store for us, but we're up for the adventure," Lowe said of his calling to the priesthood.

Attention on the priest and his marriage was expected to fade as Lowe goes about the day-to-day work of being an associate pastor at Padre Serra and ministering to people's needs.

"I think it's a 10-day wonder we're looking at as far as the focus being on Linda," said the Rev. Jarlath Dolan, senior pastor at Padre Serra Parish. "And if the focus is on Linda, I can't think of a better person to handle it."

Dolan cautioned that the ordination was not an opened gate but an exception made possible because of the pastoral provision. But neither he nor Mahony excluded the possibility that the church may someday change its requirement and allow more married priests.

"The jury is certainly out on that one," Dolan said. "I think one day the church will see it. It may well be after our lifetime."

Just amazing, I guess times are changing. Sad America is trying to change the catholic rules, just like they had that big thing not to long ago about women not being able to be catholic priests.
