Rofl. I love being protestant.

dont be so happy . the protestant faith pushes even more psychos to be "pastors" . after all they have much more freedom than catholic and orthodox priests(monacs
and for them it is far easier to milk money ..

Claims of sex orgies, prostitution and porn videos shake Catholic Church in Italy




I think it is time for the Catholic Church to begin allowing priests to marry. It's beyond stupid to expect any human being to remain celibate. As stated in the article, these people are human beings and the rule of celibacy just makes them draw the blinds and lock their doors.

Most keep defending celibacy among priests, saying it was a sign of "full devotion" to the Catholic Church. Do you agree? Would removing the vow of celibacy make priests less devout? Does celibacy show a priest commitment to the Catholic Church? Should Catholic priests be allowed to marry and have families?

So if they were married they wouldn't have orgies and seek prostitutes? They wouldn't go on gay websites looking for partners if they were married? You're missing the issue completely. They don't do this because they can't marry. They do it because they can do it. Being married isn't going to stop someone from setting up orgies. It certainly isn't going to keep a gay priest (and it's been established there is a large number of homosexuals in the Catholic priesthood) from seeking men for sex or taking advantage of teen boys.

Here's the thing...All the powerful in establishment engage in vile, hedonistic practices...however, the clergy (Catholic church basically) dont have the power they used to, so their dirt gets exposed, and they dont have the fire in the belly, nor the mettle, nor ability or courage to rise up to their accusers and point fingers back. They dont have the fight in them, the Vatican is more concerned with increasing its congregation in Latin America, Asia and Africa and has all but given up fighting back against the allegations the secular bullies of the West, throw at them.

The Vatican = Weak institution that will be dismantled/disposed of in our lifetimes, I assure you of that.

why are you saying they should be allowed to marry when you arent even catholic? there is a reason why they dont marry and it is to allow them to concentrate more on spirituality and to dedicate their lives to religious people.

Wrong. Clerical celibacy was made up in the Middle Ages so that priests wouldn't leave their property to their families but to the Church.

Should Catholic priests be allowed to marry and have families?

Yes, of course!

Celibate is the most stupid thing ever. This is why Protestantism is so superior to Catholicism.

but today it still exists for the reasons mentioned by me

But it does not exist in Protestant denominations. In general Protestantism is much superior.

Freedoms? Like what?

We remove any member from membership who has sex out of marriage, gambles, cusses, drinks, takes drugs, etc.

And all the money is regulated by whole church not pastor. And any pastors who get complained about we remove if they are sinful.

My church is hecka strict. You have no idea.

First of all celibate is dysgenic as fuck, because priests are usually people with above-average IQs. So if priests don't have families and children, it is dumbing down the society. Especially if there are many priests.

I do not identify as a Catholic but I am baptised as such. And I always found it extremely annoying when priests who have no experience with women and no kids, were preaching about relationships and family.

If they actually had wifes, maybe I would have been willing to take what they said more seriously.

I'm pretty sure Rethel fucks little boys too. He sounds just that type of religious nutter + he is Germano-Slav who are natural born sociopaths
