Should priests and bishops be celibate?
CHOOSE who you will believe,
Rome – or the Word of God:

Not only is celibacy an impossible burden for men entering ministry, it is specifically CONTRARY to the Word of God.

“A bishop then must be blameless,
THE HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE,
temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior,
hospitable, able to teach;
not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,
but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
one who rules his own house well,
having HIS CHILDREN in submission with all reverence…”
1st Timothy 3:2-4

I was schooled by the nuns K-12, and had never read the Bible. When I read the Word of God for the first time I was shocked at the number of contradictions in that religion to God’s Word.

If it were one instance, it could be debated. But I found contradiction after contradiction after contradiction, and it slowly became obvious to me that I had to make a decision. Either that religion was infallible as it claims, or the Bible is infallible in its doctrines. It can’t be both because they contradict each other.

Churches that teach forced celibacy have only themselves to blame when the natural outcome from that demand causes men to sin.

Leaving may be the hardest thing a person can have to do, family and friends will be appalled. It could bring about much rejection from them. But I couldn’t live with the alternative.

If any religion teaches doctrine which contradicts the Word of God, that must be a red flag to its members. If any religion relies on a book containing their doctrines, that’s a dead give-away – it’s perhaps the greatest tip-off that it’s a false religion. Run. You will be accountable for the choice you make.
