If it was good enough for fucking jesus.......
However, in the really exciting news of the day pope fuckface just came out with this gem.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/11/...ght-marry/
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!
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.
