You think because they can marry they won't be gay or a pedophile?


Use your brain. Less BS restrictions means more guys may decide it’s something they want to do. So ya know...maybe more non-pedophile ones...

Serious question for the catholics. Could the pope ok priests to get married? Or is that part of the belief system that wont change?

Im not trolling, just genuinely curious.

No. It IS a discipline, but one that any one pope could do by himself.

Remember that the good priests, who comprise the vast majority, see their celibacy as a gift and not a burden.

They consider Christ to be the Bridegroom and the Church His Bride. They take up this same mantle and consider the Church their bride, and commit themselves 100% to the Church. Just as a husband in a matrimony should commit himself 100% to his wife.

Thanks. I always wondered about that.


I always thought a priest that was married would also relate better to the congregation, experiencing the same trials as 90% of the church. But what you said makes sense.

Is there a shortage of priests? i heard there was a shortage of American priests.

While maybe a stretch, I would hardly call it stupid. The Catholic church has always been involved in astronomy, the church built one of the first observatories in 1739. There has been a official Vatican astronomer on the Pope's staff from that time through today.

"Castel Gandolfo serves as the main headquarters for the Vatican Observatory — or Specola Vaticana, in Italian. The observatory is one of the oldest astronomical institutes in the world and operates under the jurisdiction of the pope and the Roman Catholic Church."

This is a backwards way of thought that needs to end.

FWIW priest could marry in the Catholic Church for the first ~1000 years of the Church.

At this point, I have no idea how people can remain Catholic.

To make a blanket judgement on everybody affiliated with the Church based on the sickness of select individuals is kind of chickenshit, to be quite frank. Not everybody in the Catholic Church feels like what is going on is ok. Even though the current Pope is doing everything in his power to ruin the Catholic Church in an ironical twist to attempt to save face for it, not every person in the Church shares his viewpoint. Believe it or not, there are a bunch of good priests out there, and well intentioned people who would never try to cover up a molestation - priest or not.

I, for one, do not see the Catholic Church as the Pope and the priests only. It is made of millions of Parishioners who serve freely to and for the Church, and for each other. It's just a case of having horrible leadership right now.

To be celibate means you aren't interested in pussy. You really believe that allowing them to marry will make a difference? It might if you allow them to marry young boys.

No it’s only American conservatives that think that. And they typically dont uphold any Catholic values.

All he talks about is love and tolerance. If that’s what you consider evil then it says more about you than the Pope.

Give me one single good reason women shouldn’t be priests.

I’ll never understand you pussies who have no argument so you call people pussies.
