Kahujadekadura: Yes, i agree with you. But it is obvious that many of those celibate ones really want to enjoy sexual intercourse but they couldnt come out to do so and as such they go for cheap preys and from then on become sexual predators. Why institute a doctrine or arrangement that will end up causing the brethren to fall? |

Lordabas:. I think you should remove sentiment from your question if you really don't have a selfish interest about your question. Firstly read Matt 19 till ending and read it VERY well. Again, Catholic priest doesn't seek to inherit Church wealth like you erroneously believe. They are not the owner of the parish they are posted to. Any church they build when living, they leave everything behind. 2 Likes |

Asquare84:. All of them were brought up like you. They only went through formation to become what they are and some were even forced into seminary. And inasmuch as Jesus chose Judas Iscariot to be his disciple despite knowing the fact that he will betray him is a clear fact that among priest, you can see bad ones. Lastly, we Christians sometimes do set unnecessary temptation for our priests in order to control them and the parish money. Notwithstanding some are the people that do go for the temptation. Among twelve, there must be Judas. That some of the priests do fall victim of sexual act, do not imply that the church dogma on celibacy is bad. After all some married pastors or lay faithfuls still go after another women. 7 Likes |

unitysheart:. All I can say on this is, inasmuch as priesthood is not impose on anyone, it is left for the person to have it mind that going against the vows stipulated for priestly life is a grievous offense before God and man. It is Catholic tradition, so if one can't keep it, why going for it whereas you can be married and still preach the word of God. So the blame should be laid upon those bad priest not on Church tradition. 1 Like |

skarlett: Which family? We heard that he had a mother in-law so? OK tell me what was Peters wife's name? And I'm not contradicting myself. Peter did leave his family to become an apostle. He dedicated his life to serving God and going on missionary works. |

dingbang:Sorry my brother you are far from the truth. The doctrine of celibacy in catholic church was introduced during the reign of a pope. By the way be informed that all the Apostle's were married except Paul. |

mysteryman2014:. It is obvious that Peter married but after Christ dead, I don't think we heard anything about his family life. Even letters of St Peter, we have nothing of that nature in it. The most important aspect of it all is that as a Pope, which is d beginning of Modern Catholic church, he had no family for he abandoned them for his ministry. Assuming, he stayed in the Rome with his family then u will have a point there 1 Like |

Well It's their doctrine, Almost all their doctrines contradicts with the scriptures! Most of their followers make derrogatory remarks about The king James Version of the bible as an Incomplete testament! The Roman Catholic Church is one of the biggest fraud launched by the Roman Government! Their doctrines were formulated by early pagans and fanatics! 3 Likes |

unitysheart:The priesthood is not forced on anyone, that's why before you are ordained, a Master of ceremony (mc) announces the names of those to be ordained, and each individual gets to answer present and come forward or keep mute and sit back. Before putting themselves forward, they know what's at stake, who cannot stay should leave. The church does not force ordination on anyone or beg anyone to remain after if they have a change of heart. Becoming sexual predators is a choice made out of the wickedness of their hearts as men and not because of any rule. 2 Likes |

Realberg:Total rubbish. The Bible was first translated and compiled into what's called the BIBLE by St. JEROME, a Catholic priest into Latin and without that translation, there would be nothing like a BIBLE. Stop coming online to spew ignorance. The Catholic Church did not start in Rome, unless you want to tell me that Jesus and the apostles were Romans. The Catholic Church was not called so until 108AD by Ignatius of Antioch who wasn't a Roman 1 Like 1 Share |
