Where do non-bible folks fit in? |
I honest to God know a gay Priest. He is a childhood friend, who had the calling in puberty and his parents are relieved. He was dating a girl and having a secret affair with a boy friend. Then, his parents freaked out when they discovered him with his boy friend. They were so proud to learn of his desire to be a Priest. They forgot his passionate embrace of his boyfriend.. He remains a good Priest. Reflections: Is this a happy life? All I can say is he is a good friend. But, why should a Priest be celibate? How many more sex offending Priests can the Church sustain? The Church objects to married Priests and commands the parishioners to marry. I think the Church is concerned about community property in the Priest's family. Who gets what in the event of a separation? Should the Church be responsible for alimony? |
