Question Catholic priest celibacy?
The high priests at the Vatican knows that what we inherited from past mistakes. Unfortunately, they can not tell people that in fact, already affecting them the authority to Catholicism.
How could Catholism be the true teachings of Jesus when he is in itself against the natural creation of this world. Why the Vatican worried about low birth rates in countries like Germany, France and Spain, in itself does not allow their priests to marry. Does God want priests to be celibate? What are the proof that God commanded the priests to be celibate? If celibacy is a true Catholic doctrine, why God ordered Prophet Noah for a couple (male and female) of each animal species on his boat?
I'm not a fan or follower of the Catholic and the Vatican Instituion. I agree with you that much of the Catholic dogma is puzzling contradiction with the Bible. There are many, many examples. Here are two obvious problems.
Eamples:
1: Jesus said we should call anyone "Father". However, the Catholic Church insists that you should call Catholic priests "Father" in direct defianace what Jesus said.
2:. The third of the ten commandments clearly states "you shall not worship any graven image, or any likeness of what is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You do not bow thyself to them nor serve them. " How the Catholic Church justify the use of many images of size? We are not ordered the use of images of Jesus or saints medals, rosaries and religious statues. However, the Catholic and devout Catholic homes are full of these prohibited items. Personally, I do not even think it's ok to use jewelry that is in the form of a cross.
I regret to say, there is no logical explanation of the questions raised. It's just more examples of the Catholic Church to outrageously silly rules regardless of the explicit instructions of God.
One possible basis for the Catholic Church's insistence that priests could not marry in 1 Corinthians chapter 7. But even this chapter does not fully explain the logic of the Catholic Church.
By the way, where did the Catholic Church the absurd idea that this world needs a "pope"? Scriptual There is no basis for it.
My conclusion is that the Catholic church is filled with jelly beans and the Catholic Church and Catholic dogma benelovently be ignored whenever possible. Finding a church teaching the Bible.
I do not think most priests are celibate. They may be abstinence, but not celibate.
Look, all that keeps members of religions breeder breeding is a good thing. Now if we can reach out to Muslims to take this rule too. As for your god ,…… God is the end result of a failed search for truth by a very shallow mind, if the search was conducted at all, instead of swallowing the battery delusional bilge spoon fed like a child
When was the Catholic church, priests were not required to be celibate. Paul recommends that leaders not to marry to be less distracted by earthly things, but never a requirement. Celibacy came about because the Church was greedy. Many priests, especially high-ranking priests as bishops, became very rich. Like most parents, priests with families tend to leave their wealth to their children. The Church resented this loss and eventually forbade priests to marry, keeping wealth in the Church.
Personally, I expect the leaders of the Church does not marry is ridiculous. How are supposed to refer to lay people and understand their problems when they have never experienced anything similar?
that is jumping all over the board without much knowledge of what they are talking.
I advise you to actually study the Catholic Church and its views on celibacy.
Noah had nothing to do with it, had to do with the land and repopulatoin this world region.
And it has nothing to do with birth control and populatoins of nations.
Even Paul in the Bible, yep the Bible says it was better for the clergy to be single, not a rule but a preference.
As a married man, had the concern of a family that often stood in the midst of his ministry,
Then, the Catholic Chruch for many years have married clergy, the first rule that changes could be married if they were married when they were single ordainded but when told he would have to be alone.
This is the same rule as the Orthodox Church still has (and I do not see you attacking their belief in this), but due to many factors, they changed the rule that all priests must be unique.
But this is only in the Roman Rite, there are many married priests in the Catholic Church in other rites.
Also in the Roman rite there are some married priests. A Preist of another church, Anglican, Orthodox, Catholic or independent, have been allowed to rejoin the Catholic Church as a priest and married. There have been some bishops married, there was even a married bishop who attended Vatican II. (IKNOW since it was prior to our group and entered the Catholic Church as a bishop married)
And this is not part of his doctrine, is simply a rule, it could change tomorrow if they so wish. It is a practice, not a doctrine of the Church
The tradition of Catholic priest celibrate being is based largely on the life of Christ on this planet Earth. Since Christ is unique and very poor and have no home to go to at nght, which is the foundation of the Catholic Church view of what a priest should be very similar life to Jesus Christ. About the truth that is hidden from ordinary people, who left the dark ages in which ordinary people couuld not read a book and all they knew was the religion of their churches and the stained glass windows tell the story of the Holy Bible.
I would like to propose a point as a reflection to your question …
Priestly celibacy is not a question of "restrictions" or "discipline" or "asceticism" or anything like that … at least not in the first place. Priestly celibacy is primarily a matter of love. It's about Christ's unconditional love for man, and the priest's response to that love. The priest responds to God's unconditional love by giving his own existence, his being, all that is and everything he does, back to God … in love.
I hope this little discussion helps you understand better what priestly celibacy is all.
God bless you.
For many years the priest had wives, but then found that standing in the way of some of the things the church wanted to do what any marriage forbidden thereafter, and when he died who had been married, are not allowed. In biblical terms it, to some extent it may be said to be so, but not quite. Some of the apostles were married, as it is if you read the Bible closely. It says in a place that was better to be alone, if I was going to cause problems for you to be with a woman. If everyone were celibate as the Church teaches leaders to be, how no one left to keep the church going into the future? So the Church does not condone any form of contraception, with them, not so many born and less likely to come more priests. All you need do is read the Bible and really study it to see the Catholic Church is all painted, but that goes against the Bible more than you will with it. I do not mean to be rude but I must be honest.
Priests I think they are celibate because, according to the Bible, Jesus was celibate.
The way you look, the priests and to have his wife - the Church. They devote themselves entirely to it, and I think it's a bad thing to require celibacy.
