Katholikos Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The "rent-a-priests" lack "faculties." Nobody can do anything in a diocese without the bishop's authorization. They have no right, no authority to act as priests. They're simply going through the motions. But the misguided folks who use them may think it's the real thing. How sad. The perpetrator is another Luther. I wonder if she thinks she's a Catholic in good standing. Hope the bishop has had a few words with her. --------------------------------------- Blessed Father Damien, pray for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeyeon Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) I really have mixed feelings about this. I honestly think priests should be allowed to marry, however I also believe that priests should also be celibate. So I don't like it when people try to flip the entire structure of the church. polarizing this issue is just wrong in my opinion, because God also told holy men that ministered to take women as wives. I respect the priests actually being celibate, but I do also agree that it could be benificial for certain priests to marry. I don't believe one should attain a high rank as cardnial though if one is married. Edited November 28, 2006 by zeyeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] the reason children polarize things into black and white is not because the are young and foolish, but because they still can see with the eyes of God- their vision has yet to be muttled by the world. so we strive through prayer, as Jesus told us; to be like chilrden.
