Quote:Pope requests Roman Catholic priests be given right to marry
Quote:Pope Francis has placed a request for Roman Catholic priests to be allowed to marry in Brazil on the agenda of a forthcoming synod on the Amazon region, in a controversial move that is likely to outrage conservatives in the Church, Vatican sources say.
And why? Some great doctrinal revelation? No.
Quote:Cardinal Hummes reportedly asked Francis to consider ordaining so-called viri probati, married men of great faith, capable of ministering spiritually to the many remote communities in the Amazon where there is a shortage of priests, and evangelical Christians and pagan sects are displacing Catholicism.
Nope. It's about market share!

-or...
Brazilian girls have legendarily sweet asses (backseat to argentinians..I'd wager)...and it;s ridiculous to imagine that some catholic priest can resist -that-. So cut the bullshit and preempt scandal before it happens. Everybody knows, by now...that priests fuck. If the holy see can abandon pretense for just a minute.....catholicism can proceed uninhibited. A test case, if you will, for priest's inability to resist sweet ass all over the world.

Well to be fair, as a former Catholic myself, this really isn't that different than say Saudi Arabia saying, "Hey we now let women drive."
It is about marketing, and as with every religion, when you call them out, instead of admitting they got it wrong, they change their interpretations to stay relevant.
When believers of any religion try to claim to be modern, you cant by any means separate their new interpretations from antiquity when those interpretations were far different.
I honestly do love liberal theists, I really do. But the fact remains their respective labels and sects still have more conservative parts still dug into the past.
Yes Minn, it is marketing.

It used to be that clergy in the RCC could marry. But their property was getting inherited by their spawn, so the RCC, in a major land grab, took the properties and forced the wives away from their husbands. And they all stood still for it. No religious or secular organization has any business forcing that kind of thing.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

The great thing about the secular west at least, is that if any religious institution threatens to kick you out of that individual church who the fuck cares? You can still go to another, or start your own without regards to where you got kicked out.
So if a Christian or Muslim or Jewish Church kicks an individual out, that should not mean shit to the individual.
No, I am not talking about crime like rape or child molestation, just bullshit by the institution simply getting angry that you questioned their social norms.
The Pope is not an elected official, anymore than a Rabbi or Muslim Cleric or the Dali Lama. Those religious leaders only have power over those whom allow them to have power over them. In the free west, we have the ability to follow or leave those people.
But yea, all those religions use the economy like any other aspect of society to compete for influence.

Well, it'd prove it was a demon.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
