Catholics, why can not priests marry and have children, why Ya'll do not ordain women?
Catholics, Episcopalians Im, you know us, we are basically similar. I think it would be Catholic, if not for these things. I just wanted to know the reasoning behind these issues because the first thing I heard was a way to return the money at the problem and for the second question, I think women are as capable of teaching the word of God to men. Also you all drink wine or grape juice?
- Does the Catholic Church have priests, however, women?
- What kind of bread and wine Use Catholics in the sacrament of the Eucharist?
- Do You See The Catholic Church will soon allow women to be priests or priests to marry and procreate?
- Why Women Cannot be priests in the Catholic religion ??????
- What is the reason that there were women priests in the Catholic Church, but are Anglican Women Ministers?
+ + Celibacy
The non-celibate clergy came into full bloom until about 1000 AD There were many married priests, bishops and popes before this time.
Priests and religious (nuns) as part of their vocation not to marry following:
+ The recommended practice in the Bible
+ In the example of Jesus, John the Baptist, and the apostle Paul.
+ + + + + + Writing
+ In Matthew 19:12, Jesus says: "Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so, some because they were made so by others, some because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this should accept it. "
Jesus says that celibacy is a gift from God and whoever can bear it should bear. Jesus praises and recommends celibacy for full-time ministers in the Church. Because celibacy is a gift from God, those who criticize the church practice of celibacy are criticizing God and this wonderful gift to his chosen waiver.
+ In Matthew 19:29, Jesus says, "And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit the life eternal. "
Who gives children for the sake of his name, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. Jesus praises celibacy when it is done for the sake of his kingdom.
+ Matthew 22:30 - Jesus explains: "In the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven".
In heaven there is no marriage. To achieve the kingdom of Jesus on earth, the priests live the consecration to God in heaven by not having a wife in marriage. In this way, priests are able to focus exclusively on the spiritual family, and not have any additional pressure of the biological family (which is the vocation of marriage). This also makes it easier for priests to be transferred to different parishes where they are needed without having to worry about the impact of their transfer to the wife and children.
+ In 1 Corinthians 7:1, Paul writes, "It's a good thing for a man not to touch a woman."
This is an option for Catholic priests of the Roman rite freely make.
+ Then in 1 Corinthians 7:7, Paul says, "Indeed, I wish they all be like me."
Paul acknowledges that celibacy is a gift from God and wants all were celibate like he is.
+ In 1 Corinthians 7:27, Paul writes: "Are you free from a wife? Then do not look for a woman. "
Paul teaches men not to seek marriage. In Paul's opinion, marriage introduces worldly temptations that can interfere with one's relationship with God, specifically in relation to those who will become full time ministers in the Church.
+ In 1 Corinthians 7:32-33, Paul teaches us: "I would be free of worries. An unmarried man is concerned with things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But a married man is anxious worldly things, how to please his wife. "And in verse 38," So, who marries his virgin does well, he who does not marry she will do better. "
Paul recommends celibacy for full-time ministers in the Church so as to be able to concentrate fully to God and building His kingdom. The "who refrains from marriage will do better."

Biblical models of a celibate clergy came from John the Baptist, Jesus and the apostle Paul.
John the Baptist and Jesus are both believed that celibacy was throughout his life. Some scholars believe that the example of the Essenes influenced either or both of Jesus and John the Baptist in their celibacy.
WWJD? What would Jesus do? Jesus never married.
The Apostle Paul is explicit about his celibacy (cf. 1 Cor. 7). There is also evidence in the Gospel of Matthew for the practice of celibacy among some Christians, in the famous passage about becoming "eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 19:12).
+ + Women's Ordination
WWJD? What would Jesus do?
The Catholic Church currently teaches:
The Lord Jesus chose men to form the college of the twelve apostles and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed in his ministry.
The Church recognizes herself to be bound by this decision by the Lord Himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible.

We use real wine of the Eucharist.
With love in Christ.
Yes, we are "basically related. All Christians are children of God and brothers of Jesus.
Imacatholic has detailed all the official reasons the priests voluntarily vows of celibacy in the Catholic Church. I add my own experience - it used to be Protestant, and have worked for our church. We had seven married priests on staff and it was very difficult at all and their spouses and children. Being in the clergy is not a 9-to-5 jobs, and people who look at it that way are not doing what is asked of them. Clergy must be available 24 / 7, and even in my church when pastors took turns to stand guard at night, it was still a great job for their families. As St. Paul wrote, man or woman can devote 100% singles to the Church and its work, but married people are split between their responsibilities at home and their responsibilities as ministers of the Lord.
In fact, a study by George Barna discovered some years ago that the majority of married priests would not have carried out their vocation, had I known what I would do to their wives and children. This is from the perspective of clergy marriage - you should consider carefully.
There may come a time when lay people are active enough in the Church that eliminate much of the burden of the priests, and priests in the Western rite of Catholicism is likely to be allowed to marry again (already Orientals can … and share the same problems as Protestant clergy). Until then, however, is a sensible decision.
As for women in the priesthood, and the women in the Catholic Church has many important functions that enable them to teach the word of God and to provide other services. And women are equal in every sense of becoming saints of God.
However, the priest's role is to act "in persona Christi" and you know as well as I that Jesus came to us as a male human being. To say that women can act in persona Christi mean either that Jesus was not a man - that is factually incorrect - or that their humanity is irrelevant, it is not true. He is fully human, which means you have a sex and gender is 100% interest to his humanity. A woman trying to represent His person is to castrate him and that is simply wrong.
Having been a Protestant, married to a man who played in Christian bands and worship leader was well treated, I have seen women clergy in many, many different churches, and I must say - as a woman - that all falls except in two areas: first, as soon as she says, "This is my body …" during the Communion (which adds a comedy unfortunate that the entire liturgy of the Eucharist) and the second when it comes to correct men in need, among the congregation. In fact, I think the clergy, women do not.
