DoctorAlien:The encouragement is enough.BTW we have married priests in the Catholic church |

What did 1 Timothy 4 say 1 Timothy 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. It says that a time will come when men will forbid people from marriage. It's not from God. You don't know this one yet you gave us Bible and you are the first church. Nonsense. Do you know when Islam started and you can see how fast they are growing. When they started and their population doesn't make them a true religion. |

PaChukwudi44: Married Priests kwa. Continue smoothly in your delusion. It suits you well. After you don't have a choice. You must be deluded except God helps you |

Prosper123:You don't know half of what Catholicism is about. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by PaChukwudi44(m): 9:18pm On Dec 21, 2017 |
Prosper123:Bros Google will cure your ignorance. We have priests in the Catholic church today that are married |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Prosper123: 9:35pm On Dec 21, 2017 |
analize701:I know. Idolatry, sodomy, hypocrisy,heresy |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Prosper123: 9:38pm On Dec 21, 2017 |
PaChukwudi44:of course. Many priests are married. Secretly married. Or married by mistake. |

analize701: sorry dear but this is so dull. why shouldn't a celibate man have sexual attraction, is he an alien? sorry dear, that sounded stupid. every human being I know has a person or persons he is attracted to, it is natural and part of our make up, that one chooses not to express this natural attraction doesn't make them disappear. I am celibate, neither lust or formication or porn or sexual immorality of any sort is acceptable in my life but that doesn't change the fact that I am attracted to ladies and sometimes I just thank God for his creation. every human has sexuality it is part of how God made us, even when we decide not to give it rein it is still just as we all feel the urge to eat even though some people like fasting. in as much as the apostle Paul was a human like me and you, he had sexuality and was at one time or the other sexually attracted to someone even though he was celibate |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Ubenedictus(m): 10:48pm On Dec 21, 2017 |
Prosper123:not secretly or by mistake. priest may be married. there are many married priest and it has been so for centuries. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Ubenedictus(m): 11:10pm On Dec 21, 2017 |
hopefulLandlord:please help me inform him.he can't differentiate between an attraction and the act. dear Lord why do certain Protestants suddenly lose their reasoning faculty any time they hear any thing about the Catholic Church? |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Ubenedictus(m): 11:17pm On Dec 21, 2017 |
analize701: if the cause of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church is celibacy abeg tell me what is the cause of sexual abuse in the Protestant Church? dear Lord save us from hypocrisy. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Ubenedictus(m): 11:31pm On Dec 21, 2017 |
Prosper123: if you want to know what it means to forbid marriage read up the carthars, don't just come and spew half ignorant rubbish. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Ubenedictus(m): 11:34pm On Dec 21, 2017 |
Prosper123:actually the Bible says you can cheat nature for it tells us some people will be celibate for the sake of God's kingdom. if it is impossible as you claimed, the Bible won't say it can be done. that means you are wrong and incorrect. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Ubenedictus(m): 12:07am On Dec 22, 2017 |
analize701:because there are many people in America who has same sex attraction and the world is telling them that it is right and good to act out this attraction and that those who don't act it out are simply archaic, the lgbt crowd will advise such people to commit sodomy, he is presenting his own life to show that such narrative is untrue... one may suffer same sex attraction without giving in to sodomy but instead work for God. his life is an example that one can resist temptations to sodomy even when he suffers SSA. in his own words, “Because of this, there are no authentic role models of healthy, well-balanced, gay, celibate priests to be an example for those, young and old, who are struggling to come to terms with their sexual orientation.This only perpetuates the toxic shaming and systemic secrecy.” |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Ubenedictus(m): 12:12am On Dec 22, 2017 |
DoctorAlien:now we can all start listing every Church leader we know in an apparent shit throwing contest. even in your Protestant churches without celibacy we still find homosexuality, child abuse and all forms of abominable sexual sins in their clergy...did the bad Catholic popes also cause that one. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Ubenedictus(m): 12:17am On Dec 22, 2017 |
Prosper123: we can start throwing our rumours around abi? my friend who is a receptionist in a hotel also told me a story of a popular married pastor who is a sex machine and sends lots of time with prostitutes after buying condom. I have a feeling I can match you story for story, did celibacy cause that too. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Ubenedictus(m): 12:29am On Dec 22, 2017 |
analize701: if I am an alcoholic who doesn't drink then my story may help other struggling with alcoholism. no one said sodomy is okay but I won't compare a celibate Catholic priest with same sex attraction to a Protestant minister who has both a gay boy friend and got married in a Protestant church with the Church agreeing. one is committing an "abomination" the other isn't. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Ubenedictus(m): 12:33am On Dec 22, 2017 |
analize701:actually the article Chukwudi referenced says you guys also cover your sins... the only difference is that you guys have small mushroom churches so when you guys are caught few people learn of it. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Ubenedictus(m): 12:36am On Dec 22, 2017 |
analize701:but Chukwudi has enough charity to engage a follower of 16 century invention of men heretic. 1 Like |

LOL. Benedictus |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by PaChukwudi44(m): 12:25pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
Prosper123: nothing like secretely married.We have recognized married men who are priests of the catholic church |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Nobody: 5:35pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
Prosper, I thought you knew so much about the Catholic Church. How come you never knew there are married Priests in the Catholic Church? Perhaps, you knew nothing at all. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Prosper123: 9:19pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
AkunnaTochi:we have married priests. But they choose celibacy immediately they decide for priesthood. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Prosper123: 9:28pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
I know. We Igbos and Catholicism. Go on and defend evil. Give the Priest another standing ovation. Who cares. I speak the truth no matter what. The other time I posted about Adeboye using wooden staff to pray. I don't pamper evil. Even if it happened in my room. That's the difference between us both. Eeh? Go on. Die for catholic. I don't give a bleep. Afterall you will see how you have failed yourselves. Evil continues to rule because of people like you.. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by PaChukwudi44(m): 10:27pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
Prosper123:We have married priests in the Catholic church living with their wives.They don't practice celibacy |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by PaChukwudi44(m): 10:32pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
Prosper123:Igbo's make up less than 3% of the Catholic church. That the holy ghost fathers came to evangelize in the east when the Protestants stayed back in Europe is not our business |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Nobody: 11:37pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
All knowing Prosper, Celibacy is only a discipline in the Catholic Church. There are indeed married Catholic Priests who live with their wives and children. You talk so much for someone who knows so little. In your omniscience, I hope you understand what I mean by celibacy being a discipline in the Church. According to you, Catholics support evil and you don't. Congratulations. But please, humility is a virtue and it will do you some good if you'd humble yourself and learn. It doesn't look good when supposed adult Christians brandish their ignorance in public. God bless you. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Nobody: 11:40pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
Prosper123: Do yourself some good - talk less and study more. |
Re: A Catholic Priest Comes Out As Gay Before His Congregation by Prosper123: 4:10pm On Dec 23, 2017 |
AkunnaTochi:And defend evil. Study the history of Catholicism and not the doctored one by your papacy. You are the one bemused for defending evil. If we have priests who are married what stops the church from allowing those promiscuous ones from getting married too. Sheepishly defending nonsense. Read 1 Timothy 4:3 where the Bible said that in the latter days men will forbid others from getting married. Anyway I remember you people hardly study the Bible. Check in your bulletin then. It's even recently you people started doing some things like praying in the Holy Ghost or even using the Bible just to cage men in deception. Please don't quote me again. My last statement on this : The catholic church will keep reducing as men find out more in the church. Good bye |

Prosper123: When foolery is taken for wisdom and understanding, then the end becomes the terminus ad quem. Ignorance and arrogance - very deadly combination. |

I recently stopped entertaining banter but I'll respond to this. analize701:even if Gos forbids the bishop is gay he is still duty bound to examine the lives of priest under his jurisdiction and deal with issues prudently and wisely. You can't be serous, or rather, they are not serious. Is that guideline written or it's like a litmus test to ascertain same sex attractions?the guidelines are written, every seminarian today goes through a full psychological evaluation with formators on the look out for whoever manages to slip through the evaluation. And, this guidelines has been in use from the inception of the Catholic Priesthood right? Yet homosexuality is common in the Catholic fold.actually I don't enjoy it when people tell lies. the idea that homosexuality was always prevalent in Catholic priesthood is not fact based but instead slander. it actually became a problem in the 70's during the time of the sexual revolution where close to 2% of priest were probably guilty...those are the cases still treated in the press till today and the numbers are declining. it was during that period those guidelines were published. it is a pity your childhood was filled with rumors about priests mine was filled with the powerful experience of many holy priest who I became close to and their ministry imparted my life. What really surprises me in this your stance is, how does one even know that a Priest is gay when everyone in there ought to be Celibate?this is a wayward statement. a person is gay if they are attracted to same sex, even if they are celibate. And a gay man who is celibate is a good example to other gay people. For the fact that it comes up means that, Celibacy is a Charade in Catholic Church. It's only to fool their ignorant followers.now you just go on and on with your silly accusation that aren't worth the virtual space they occupy |
