unitysheart: With reference to your 3rd paragraph, no one is forced into priesthood, it's a divine vocation one goes into knowing fully well what it is all about and the sacrifices one must make. A priest who feels He can not continue with his work as a priest because of his sexual desire have every right to resign, and for those Reverend Fathers accused of sexual immoralities it is not you that called them to the vineyard of God, let Him that called them judge them. 1 Like |

The decision by the Catholic Church to have Priests who are cerlibate has nothing to do with them following the examples of Jesus. Yes, it it true that there is no record of Jesus being with any woman of wife, He never preach or teach that those who are to minister in the temple as Priest be cerlibate. The priestly office has been before the arrival of Christ to save mankind, and the requirements/qualifications of the office are clearly spelt out in the book of Leviticus. The claim by one of the respondent here that because Jesus who founded the Catholic Church was a cerlibate is very unfounded. Jesus never preach in Rome all His life, yet the Catholic Church originated from Rome hence the name Roman Catholic. It was Apostle Paul that took Christianity to Rome. The reason why the Catholic Church chose for her priest to be cerlibate, I believe is rooted in their papacy, and cannot be explained by any one else other than the custodians of the papacy alone. 1 Like |

Apina: Your comment got me Well I was born a Catholic but when you see how Catholics were involved in West Africa slave trade your eyes will open to alot of things When we talk about history no one has a perfect answer because sometimes history is just story agreed upon. During the early times there were only two churches Catholic Church to the west and Orthodox Church to the east. That st Jerome is a Catholic priest that translated the Bible does not deny the fact Catholics prevented people to access the Bible. Martin Luther was also a Catholic monk all other reformers were all Catholics. Homosexuality was prevalent in Rome so when Rome adopted Christianity it entered the church. Our question should be during the time of Christ and soon after Romans persecuted followers of Jesus and hated them with passion how come did they suddenly accept Christianity. I know people will tell you Constantine story but the answer is simple they saw Christianity as an avenue to spread their Roman culture and paganism and hence the Roman Catholic Church was formed. If you are a Catholic and you bow to virgin Mary stature and you condemn my fore fathers that bow to their own stature you are the reason Jesus wept. Christianity did not start in Rome, Roman Catholicism started in Rome after emperor Constantine became a Christian and Roman government officially adopted Christianity 1 Like |

karlboss: First of all Catholicism isn't Roman, there's also a church in the east called the orthodox or Eastern Rite. The Roman Catholicism is a Rite called the western Rite. The word Rite as used is pertaining to Liturgy and alliance, perhaps you might have heard of the patriarch of the East, the pope you probably know who's the patriarch of the West. The word Catholic means universal and it would be wrong to ascribe it just to Rome. Secondly, it would be ignorant to blame the church in regards to the slave trade, slave trading dates back to a time before Christ. I don't know what you might have heard the church did but it would be good you state your case and not just making conjectures. You talk of bowing to the statue of Our mother Mary as though you don't make such gestures towards you parents and perhaps the king in your village, if you call what we do idolatry, then most humans are idol worshippers, most especially those of you bowing Down to pictures or having pictures of your god of man in your houses. Constantine did not start the church, that would be totally ignorant to say. The first council of the church was held in Jerusalem by the Apostles even before the gospel got to Rome. Instead the church used the influence of Rome to push its message since Rome was the Empire at that time. Whatever the intention of those who chose to adopt it that time may be, Rome was simply God's tool at that time. 2 Likes |

Blacknight28: Absurdity. If its not us that called them into priesthood and cannot judge them, how come the worldly government can judge and punisb them. I havent condemned Christianity but i have every right to denounce and condemn immorality found with the priests. Jesus himself commandrd that such priests should be expelled from yhe congregation. |
