If a Catholic priest be allowed to be married to a woman not just the church?
Yes, I agree. I'm Catholic, and if you think about it, what girl would choose celibacy for the rest of your life? I'm not saying that something is wrong with priests ALL (the discomfort, etc), but it makes one wonder!
- Why can not Catholic priest Get Married, If God created man to be with women?
- Catholic priest, which ever married and what year?
- Why not ask other non-Catholics-Catholics believe that if a Catholic priest to be married or not?
- Are you Catholic priests should be allowed to married?
- Do you agree that Catholic priests should be allowed to marry?
Yap
Of course it should, I base my response on the belief that Jesus married Mary Magdalene. I know that this statement is not exact, but writes, I think if she had suffered all the trials and tribulations of man, then he must have been married, and this is no joke. Had to be married. And as a Catholic priest is to be representative of Christ in the church, so in case. But that's just my educated opinion.
Why is not prohibited by the Bible?
The priests are not allowed to marry sometime in 1500 began the first priests and popes of the Catholic Church were married. The Catholic Church changed the law when they realized married priests left his fortune to their families instead of the Church.
would certainly be an improvement, which could have more constructive conversations about sex.

Nope. If a man wants to be a member of the Catholic clergy and married him to be a deacon?
Yes
Yes, definitely.
it should be allowed to marry, but only to another priest. for what he had to let women be priests first before they could allow priests to marry.
The reason for this is because both people know that marriage is secondary to God. It's a bit like why famous people date other famous people … there are so many factors that make these relationships difficult for two different people because I really do not understand the lifestyle of the person.
Who cares? Is your club can have their own rules. Anyone who does not like you can join another club.
I personally do not see any harm in it, but the Church should pay more in salary (to help the family, as I imagine it would have one) and health insurance.
However, it could solve the shortage of priests - to end the conflict between the call to marriage and the call to the vocation.
A couple of things. In fact, many Catholic priests who marry in the world but are predominantly Byzantine rite. Only a small number in the U.S., whether Byzantine or converts to the faith. That's just one side.
Men entering the priesthood is very clear that the call to priesthood comes with the discipline of celebacy, the Pauline (St. Paul) tradition. This, as Paul argues, frees them to live fully in service to God and not divided in their care.
Yes it is appropriate as they did ONCE UPON A TIME ..
Only if the Church changes its rules.
The men who become priests know this is going to be the best …. so if they think they can do not have to be a priest.
Also ….. with permission can always leave.
Yes, and the nuns must get married.
Yes, in my opinion. I choose to give up the "pleasures of marriage" to better serve God. I think the nuns can marry, but their marriage is not an earthly (married to Christ, the Pope as Christ's representative). I think it can be quite mystical, sometimes even perverse.
Of course it's only an opinion, not be taken as an "absolute truth".
I think that is for Catholics and Catholics only to decide.
I can understand their rationale for continuing the tradition of the celibate priesthood, but I wonder if it's worth the hassle of constantly having to defend all the time.
A Catholic priest, I believe, must be able to marry, but that is not your belief!
The church is making great strides in this direction.
Currently allowing priests to marry, not to marry. I know it sounds silly distinction, but there is a profound difference.
Priests of other communions (ie non-Catholics, however, even liturgical churches like the Anglican, Orthodox, Episcopal, etc.) as having married two decide to convert to Catholicism and join the priesthood was allowed to stay married.
I think in time, this rule may change.
There is no justification for this doctrine is simply a legal practice of the church (no different then the "not eating meat on Friday" rule. There is nothing inherently immoral for a married priest, the church has only been decided is best for practical rather stay single).
Yes …. I bet you also respond to emails to their friends lol
I think the model used by the Orthodox Church could also be used by the Catholic Church. They married priests, but bishops are celibate and normally are monks and nuns.
Yes, that's a good plan against a pedophile.
This is the last resort for Catholics to decide, obviously.
However, it is an interesting thing to ponder. Their basic human needs are not just food, clothing and shelter, as I said in elementary school, but these and sex. In Western society tends to consider people who refuse food, clothing, and / or shelter that they need psychological help, but avoiding sex is somehow regarded as admirable.
By denying the possibility of married priests, the Church is denying the only sexual outlet accepted by a member of his faith, and one of their basic human needs are not being met.
That's not something I personally would for a religion, more than I would give him food, clothing or shelter. There are people in other parts of the world, at least try to do the same, though - Jains, for example.
In my opinion, yes
I think so
The Catholic Church has married priests, married priests who were ordained before. After sorting is another matter, because who they marry? One of his spiritual children? Or someone who is not even Christian? Priests can not marry for the same reason, doctors may not be a loving relationship with their patients. It would be a form of incest. Priests are the spiritual fathers, and it would be inappropriate for them to date and marry one of his sons. Moreover, the imbalance of power makes meaningful consent impossible.
This is a less important issue for Protestants, because the authority of their clergy is 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 priest, minister, pastor, rabbi, professional pastoral counselor, chaplain, or member of staff was in a defined ministry role (eg Minister Stephen lay minister of the Eucharist, the minister of music, Minister of Youth), participates in SEXUAL CONDUCT WITH ANYONE WHO SERVED IN THE MINISTRY OF LABOR. Because of the inherent inequality of pastoral power in all relationships, this is true even when the person begins or consents SERVED apparently sexual behavior. Exploitative behavior can range from sexualized verbal comments, the overt and covert seductive speech, gestures, and requests for sexual favors, erotic touching or kissing to sexual intercourse. In sexual exploitation, both in the Manual of the person who is the recipient of sexual behavior and the office of the ministry itself are exploited for the sexual gratification of the religious leader engaged in sexualized behavior.

Would you like a husband who was also married to someone else and had to spend most of her time with her? Learn from Protestant ministers, who have the highest divorce rates.
Good question. I've been saying this all the time. The Catholic Church needs to broaden the spectrum. With all these priests that the vow of celibacy, this only left us with 100 of pedophile priests.
I would not blame all priest. But let's be honest, it was certainly covered.
Yes, because then most of my children would be legitimate.
