Zone1 Should the Catholic Church allow married priests?

[Meriweather]

You can't answer a simple question and the answer is right in the Scripture. Who did Jesus tell his disciples he was going to send that would teach them?

On different paths we are. My point: What does the word Apostle mean? What did Jesus send 72 disciples out to do? Did either Apostles or the 72 disciples go by themselves? Did Jesus say he was going to build a church? What is the purpose of that church? Are we to behave like hermits--it is only the individual and the Holy Spirit? No one else needed. What has the Holy Spirit taught you about scripture, about history, about community worship? Did the Holy Spirit teach Joseph Smith men should have a plurality of wives? In other words, is the Holy Spirit teaching every person everything and no one has no need of anyone else?

I began with asking you the question and you got out the dodge ball. Fine. I believe you could answer my question and I am now convinced you won't answer my question. Moving on....

Paul told one church to shut their women up because they were going to a seer and would stand up in church and tell them what the seer predicted.
On the other hand:
Thecia was Paul's go-to girl, who preached alongside him. Other noteables include Junia, Phoebe, Mary, Mary, Debra, and others.
Phillip's four daughters were prophets, as was Miriam and a host of others. Paul called Julia noteworthy among the envoys, who became in the Anointed One before me.

Psalm 68:11 "The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng".

that is different topic ... whether women may preach

I answered your question. you simply don't like the answer,

I answered your question. you simply don't like the answer,

You avoided the question (and still are) by attempting to to distract and maneuver into something totally unrelated. When, someday probably in the far future, you decide to emerge from your rabbit hole, perhaps a meaningful discussion can occur on the question/points I brought up.

should they talk to themselves and let what they hear themselves say teach him/herself?

That is the Protestant, LDS and JW way. Take it out of context to make it say what they want it to say.

That is a human failing that is not restricted to only some denominations. Catholics do it too.

Oh, of course. You simply don't know the Scriptures.

Jesus never said otherwise.
And until about the year 1100 married priests were the norm.

1139 is the exact date

Catholics think of sex as “yucky”

How could a parish respect a priest who engages in sex?

an old misunderstanding.
Celibacy does not mean no sex.
It only means: no marriage.

 

[Zebra]

the poll now says ...

13 yes
05 no

 

[Zebra]

Marriage bans were put in place so priests could not have their legal kids claim church property

yes, the ban was purely for financial reasons
not for religious reasons

 

[Zebra]

To ensure absolute celibacy priests should be castrated, then they are truly "eunuchs for the work's sake" and would leave the altar boys alone.

you also misunderstand.
celibacy does not mean ... no sex.

 

[Zebra]

celibate = unmarried

now I ask you:
can unmarried persons have no sex whatsoever?

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

celibate = unmarried

now I ask you:
can unmarried persons have no sex whatsoever?

.

I know personally a couple of Brides of Christ who have never had sex.

Many of the saints I admire the most are women who consecrated themselves to their Virginity.

that is another field
these are not priests


and:

if a priest has sex, he keeps his job
if he marries, he loses his job at once

Yes, thanks for pointing that out.

How does that work with a Commandment against adultery?

Makes no sense

 

[Zebra]

Makes no sense

you are wrong

 

[rightwinger]

you are wrong

What does a Commandment against adultery mean to you?

That priests can have adulterous sex as long as they do not marry?

adultery means .... breaking a marriage

there is also sex without breaking a marriage
