he is still a single vital man to match you, then all priests can marry to stop their naughty ways behind the alters

can the pope even confess all his past naughty ways to the masses?
he dares not!!!

I am not even sure a married priest will stick to one wife. If a priest is unable to hold himself as a celibate the chances are that, he will not stay with one woman. Talking of numbers, the Catholic priests are more numerous than the married clergymen of any Christian denominations. And by the way how many married clergymen in the other Christian denominations have been caught pants down with women other than their own? And all the lay people talking the way they are talking have "gardens", concubines and still go to prostitues.

Priesthood is a free call if anyone in it does not feel like continue, he just have to go and not drague others to follow their weakness PRIESTHOOD CELIBACY ALL THE WAY, live in it or go out of it. leave it or take it. you can eat your cake and havi it. That cheap woman who could not get any other person apart from a bishop should hide herself instead of looking for mates

Afraid man, show your face or unspeakable name. Do you have any real life testimony. Was your sister a concubine to a priest? Are you catholic yourself or you are one of the guys who wished the Catholic Church were extinct.

PRIEST CELIBACY IS GOOD ON ONE ACCOUNT. THAT IS NO CHANCE FOR GAYS TO CLAIM RIGHT IN COURT TO PARTICIPATE.

I think this suggestion makes sense, and it will bring discipline and decorum in the Catholic Priesthood

These Roman people are confused, they need to keep their confusion to themselves. Africa has it's own set of problems, and the Romans are one of them.

The Romans plunder African resources to the tune of trillions of dollars annually, they earn more than many African governments do, from their own resources, they control our learning institutions, they own more African lands than most Africans do, The Romans are an African problem.

Marriage will interfere with the freaky lifestyles of the moley pedophiles called Roman Catholic Priests, why should they worry themselves with grown women when young boys are easier to hypnotize and dominate?

This will help because most of them are doing it in secret or even openly. A priest with a wife could still be religious. Pope, act now.
