Guess I have a real problem with any religion that tells there clergy or membership they can't do that which is a basic instinct of all creation!
My understanding is that the reason catholic clergy were forbidden to marry was due to the church of the time not wishing to see family inherit any church assets. No kids.....no inheritance. Nothing to do with celibacy making us stronger.
I read a book that in the dying days of Rome they tried to survive by making the pope and the religion . That they burned all books that Jesus was married and that his wife was Maria Magdalena ; and that in fact he left his church to his wife Maria Magdalena
Now when they burned the books and made her a whore they made all women excluded from priesthood . No pesky family problems . Just the Emperor and the Pope and everybody obeys.
There was a very intresting newstory today . The brother of the pope ( who was an hitlerjugend ; the pope that is ) The brother is supposed to be implicated in 20 years of sodomy in a boys choir . Knowing and not speaking ? We will never know because this story will disappear like the misdeeds of all bankers disappeared
