It wasn't all that long ago that thoughts like that would get your burned at the stake for heresy.

RE: Hi
Sorry, seeing as the only demonstrable part of a religion are it's followers, what they do is pretty much the only metric a religion can be judged by.

Welcome aboard btw.

But, again, papal infallibility. I was taught as a young Catholic that the pope is infallible, so when he makes a decision regarding church teachings, he will never be wrong about it. I guess this even applies if he helps hide the deeds of pedophile priests.

Quote:In my opinion, I do not see why not let the priests have a wife and have children ..

I've often wondered this myself, and think it would be a good thing for the church if they did. Surprisingly, my conservative Catholic mother agreed with me. I once heard some priest talking about it and he claimed that a priest can't serve both God and a family. In other words, his wife & kids would be a distraction to being a priest. I call BS, because there are plenty of Protestant ministers who seem to be able to balance church duties with a family. Also, why would I ever want to get marriage counseling from someone who has no idea what it's like to have a wife? That would be like asking for skydiving advice from someone who's never done it.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

I agree with you, but there is another side to the medallion. One does not expect that one's oncologist has had cancer, or that one's psychologist has been depressed, suffered from OCD etc. Wink
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
