they're not allowed to get married anyway lol. You are wrong there. The preacher of the Church near by is a happy married family manπ. Only few Christian preachers aren't allowed to marry. Rest all can.
Connie, would help here.
and even if he is str8 looking at girls, he needs to be sacked, i jus think it is much worse being gay because first of all you are looking at people in church but second of all with a guy? ofcourse a sin is a sin and only god has the right to judge but we sorta see his view through the Bibleπ
I was making the same point there. Whether one looks at young boys or girls, it is shameful.
If it is written in the holy book and the religion specifically states that it is not allowed under the religion (and I dont know since I havent read the book π )
Then it would be hypocritical to have preachers of the religion as homosexuals, unless there is first a drive to rewrite the Original book to permit homosexuality π
Anyway, I think it is the right of the people of the faith and the religious heads to decide whether it should be acceptable or not
I dont belong to that religion so I dont have a right to tell anyone who they should or should not have as their religious preachers, I wouldnt want someone else to tell me who and what attributes the preachers of "my" religion should have π
maybe US system is different, here, whats the point, ur not commiting urself to God because ur time is being shared with others.π
I am not talking about Bishops. I am talking about preachers and
fathers in the church. In India too we have many family friends who are
fathers of Church and married with kids.
Nowhere in the Bible it is written that to serve god one should
remain unmarried though in some Christian churches, fathers don't
marry.
I think you have got whole point of how to serve god wrong. π
My knowledge on this is limited so it would be nice if a Christian throws light on it. What I have mentioned here is courtesy lots of Christian family friends. I have American neighbors who even call Jesus, gay (ofcourse jokingly) and still go to Church regularly.

@bold - yes, same opinion. Have met and added masses conducted by priests who have happy maried life. I agree there are some sisters/bothers who are not allowed to get into family life, but with just knowledge of studying in a convent, all I know.In hindu culture whoever opts from bramcharya is not allowed to have s* relationship, perhaps same thing.
BTW - Gay priest itself sound :(, no further commentsπ
Edited by raj5000 - 16 years agoIf in Catholicism father of Church and Bishop are supposed to follow abstinence and no marriage then does it matter if they are gay or straight?
As for hormones, it functions the same way for both gay and straight men.
Their job is to preach and perform Church services so as long as they are doing that it should be acceptable.
Around the world, there are about 100 married Catholic priests. Many in the church want to make a promise not to enter into marriage optional for the clergy, Cos of these move would increase the number of priests and give them a better understanding of family life.

Sor Juana Inez de La Cruz.........born in Mexico in the seventeenth century, was the greatest poet the American continent produced. She was a Nun.Among the dozens of works written by this remarkable person was the literary exposition "El Primero Sueo de Sor Juana Ins de la Cruz" (The First Dream of Sor Juana Inez de La Cruz) a monumental work.Readers often ask how could a religious Nun write about love and passion with such ardent fervor? did they dont have such a feelings?
