    First Timothy chapter 4 says:

    1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

    2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,

    3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

    4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving;

    5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

    That says that NOT allowing them to marry is the doctrine of demons. Roman Catholics need to wake up and read the book their religion is founded on.

    The bible promotes marriage not condemn it.

    1 Corinthians 7:36 But if anyone thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virginity, if that is past the bloom of youth, and this is the way it should take place, let him do what he wants; he does not sin. Let them marry.

    Bible principles and laws are directed to all.

    Probably not. Almost 99 percent of the pedophiles are white americans. They would fix it by throwing the U.S.A. out.

    That's not likely to happen. They like the money.

    P.S. There are probably tens of thousands of pedophiles among the evangelical churches and sects. They just don't

    have enough money to get the lawyers interested.

  • Yes. All priests and nuns should be allowed to marry. I have seen many priests screwing nuns and boys. Many of the nuns I have seen getting screwed. Sex is a basic instict and having it is not a sin.

    yes, definitely, modern day studies have shown how damaging complete sexual repression is--marriage doesn't have a negative effect on clergy from other religions, why would it on catholic preists?

    yes, i think it is very unfair to ask people to choose between serving G-d, and having a family... i don't see how the two are mutually exclusive

    No... Then they will focus more on their family instead of God... They are suppose to be devoted and loyal to God...
