Title: Altering the rules to suit.
Post by: Fly on February 22, 2013, 07:04:27 PM

So your male, Catholic, religious, and give your life to the church.
You become a priest. You waiver your right to marriage.

Don't you ?

I don't think so. As the guy says, celibacy was not part of Christ's teachings, it was brought in hundreds of years later by some more extreme clergy.

Anyway, I'm sure if they had wives and a normal sex life, the kids in the choir would be happier... ;)

I don't see what the problem is with them marrying - they can give themselves to GOD in all other ways.
