Catholic priests to be better able to marry?
Would solve many problems for them physically and emotionally. I have no reason to have to forfeit their natural urges and rights (marriage) to God. I am sure God understands. Where it says in the Bible that men and women dedicated to God to remain celibate for the rest of their lives?
- Does the Catholic Church have priests, however, women?
- Should Catholic priests marry? There is no harm in this.
- Should Catholic priests marry? There is no harm in this.
- Do You See The Catholic Church will soon allow women to be priests or priests to marry and procreate?
- See how the Roman Catholic priests can not marry?
First, be clear, this is a choice that every man does what they're looking for the priesthood. Nobody is depriving them. Being married has nothing to do with "solving problems and appealed to the natural taste." That is the reason for the poor to marry, and that man is an ideal candidate for the marriage failure. Why do I say that? He has no control over himself. He is showing emotional immaturity. Priests, along with any man contemplating marriage seriously, it must mature in this area to succeed.
St. Paul speaks of life celebate in 1 Cor 7:32, 34. It is also a logical development of the teaching of Christ on the continent (Mt 19:10-12).
You must also realize that celebacy is only one discipline in the Latin Rite. In the Byzantine rites, a man is allowed to marry before entering the priesthood. And today, a deacon, even in the Latin Rite is to be married before entering the ministry.
I say yes.
Maybe let alone the innocent.
Yes, but the Catholic Church that decided to ignore the warning of Paul the choice to either marry or remain single.
No. There are more cases of abuse of married persons to unmarried persons. Made.
Jesus was celibate.
St. Paul was celibate.
Many many of the early church leaders chose this lifestyle.
St. Paul in 1 Corinthians says that it is convenient if you are able to remain celibate.
This is one of the differences between the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion. We allow our priests to marry. There are a lot of Catholic priests who are married, and has not been a problem.
I think that whether or not a priest, as the scriptures teach, it is better for them to remain single, but if not, then they are married.
I think it's a good thing. It is very difficult being a priest or pastor. It is demanding, and if married, it would be like having two families. Fortunately, the choice of being a priest is left to the individual, and if someone thinks that celibacy can not handle, can be married if you want.
The Bible supports priestly celibacy, too. 1 Corinthians 7 makes this quite clear. Verses 1 and 2 say, "Now concerning the matters about which he wrote:" It is good for a man not to have sex with a woman. "However, since there is sexual immorality, each man must have sex with his own wife and each woman her own husband."
8-9 verses say: "Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It's good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. But if you can not control themselves, they should marry, because marriage is better to burn with passion. "
As for emotional issues, I think that will just quote a Catholic priest who says that all means is that priestly celibacy is lost in a single relationship with other people. The vocation of the priesthood / religious life is very fulfilling when someone believes it is his true vocation in life. As someone who is discerning religious life, trust me, celibacy is the last thing that worries me. There is much more to consider. Sorry, this was so long daggone!
It does not say that anywhere in the Bible. Jesus said (paraphrased) if a man can handle alone, it was good. If burned with lust, the better for him to marry
It would be better if the direction followed in the Bible.
does not say that in the Bible.
it would be better to marry …
Did you check any of the other million and only one answer to this question? — This is a rule for the Kingdom of God — why the Kingdom of God has to operate by our rules? — He said "My kingdom is not of this world" — His priests must be like the eunuchs in the book of Esther. God can certainly help in the control of sexual impulses and makes it all the time, it's just that this "old" about saying that everybody should have sex and have all the time so of course, even if it was brought to the opposite sex, as you must have sex to be gay — so that is ok, because you MUST have sex — what abunch of Hogwash.
I think we could solve a number of problems.
not at all. Why do people associate with pedophiles "normal" sex. this is very ignorant. someone who is a pedophile is a DEVIENT. pedophiles are more often then not married priests NO.
a priest is dedicated 110% to your parish. which is available 24 / 7 365 - no woman in this world that would be in a marriage.
BTW - all unmarried people are called to be chaste ….
Definitely, because the whole world, no matter how pure of heart has sexual desires. is the way God intended.
The Bible says nothing of this and a priest were married for many years. This practice was stopped by the Church because the priest, or is devoted to his family and his work as a priest who suffer or become too devoted to his priesthood and his family life suffered. So, in my view, the priests should not be allowed to marry, they know what they are getting themselves into when they are sorted.
To be married? One of her spiritual children? Or someone who is not even Christian? The priests can not marry for the same reason doctors can not be romantically involved with their patients - that would be a form of incest. The priests are the spiritual fathers, and would not be appropriate for them to date and marry one of their children (nor would it be appropriate to date and marry non-Catholics). Moreover, the imbalance of power makes meaningful consent impossible.
This is less of a problem for the Protestant clergy because of his authority is normally limited to a specific congregation, but a priest is a spiritual father and a figure of authority to all Catholics.
"Sexual exploitation is a betrayal of trust in a pastoral relationship with the development or the attempt to develop a romantic or sexual relationship. Sexual exploitation occurs when any ordained minister, pastor, rabbi, professional pastoral counselor, chaplain, lay or staff member in a ministry role (for example, Stephen Minister, lay Eucharistic minister, minister of music, minister youth), PARTICIPATES IN SEXUAL CONDUCT WITH ANYONE WHO SERVED IN THE MINISTRY OF WORKER. Due to the unequal power inherent in all PASTORAL RELATIONS, this applies even when the person served consents or apparently INITIA sexual behavior. Behavior can range from sexual exploitation verbal, overt and covert seductive speech, gestures, and requests for sexual favors, to erotic touching or kissing to sexual intercourse. In sexual exploitation, whether the person is the recipient of sexual behavior and the office of the ministry itself are being exploited for the sexual gratification of a religious leader involved in sexual behavior. "(Manual of Clinical Pastoral Counseling, p. 346, emphasis added)
Catholic (contrary to popular belief, the Catholic Church has married priests) and the Orthodox churches ordering both married men, ordered, but men can not marry.http: / / books.google.com / books? Id = 1HIuQNl … http://fampra.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/con … http://www.beliefnet.com/story/63/story_ …
To the extent that the person they marry is more than 18 years.
It might be safer for children coming into contact with.
