LOL...So much for that...I saw that on the news last night...I was thinking is it really that bad for preists to be married? I mean, as long as they're married, they are approved by God if they engage in sexual activities, right? What makes them so subject to different rules?

Damn!! I'll never be Pope if they keep this up.

I reckon it's got a real catchy sound to it, "Pope Spike I"

There is nothing wrong with a priest being single. There is a lot wrong when he is forced to do this against his own nature. All over the world, there are children growing up without knowing who their fathers are. this is just the opposite to the way of life Christ was teaching. He was brought to trial by Jewish priests, which goes to show how the belief in God and religion within an organisation is not always the same. The Catholic church has left the way of Christ on this issue, in the same way as many Jews do not keep to the 10 commandments. Pity, they all have so many good points otherwise!

All Catholic priests are already married. Married to God.
