@dom_lucre I’ve thought about this a bit. It may actually be more selfish to take the 10 minutes with Jesus.
Taking the 10 trillion and donating most if it could help countless of people. And you’d have precise control of where the money goes. Conditionally this is the more selfless answer
Oh I’m not a trad Catholic at all. I just don’t see a theological reason to not allow them to marry. I went through all the arguments and it just doesn’t make sense to me, especially in these times.
Sure it’s a burden, but so is everything else worth perusing in life. I think the pros far outweigh the cons. 🤷🏻♂️
See that’s where it feels like gaslighting. It’s not JUST a lisp. Come on, man!
We can all see it! Doesn’t make him a bad person! I’m just pointing out the sheer amount of effeminate clergy.
I think it sucks I can only rely on one priest (who is very old) in my local area that isn’t classically effeminate. Something isn’t right here!
@maxeduppower @sitsio @Catholicizm1 It’s worth the trade off. And the list of reasons why couldn’t possibly fit in a tweet.
I see myself being drawn from the Latin Rite towards Byzantine because of this!
A part of me feels uncharitable for thinking this way, but I’ve decided it’s a hill I’m willing to die on.
@zdogg8@maxeduppower @sitsio @Catholicizm1 Come on brother, we’re in NY…how can you not tell. Look, if it was just some I wouldn’t have a problem - after all it’s not necessarily a sin to be attracted to same sex. But it’s like every one of our priests (at least here in NY). It’s gotten really really bad.
@maxeduppower @sitsio @Catholicizm1 Exactly.
They NEED to let Priests marry. The compounding of what you state has vacuumed out any form of masculinity and I fear it’s going to get much much worse. It has to stop.
The Catholic Church has plenty of money. And the biggest expense is housing and they already taken care of that.
Our original Pope, St. Peter and other apostles had a wife, so don’t give me that.
And what a silly argument your last question is. You know damn well it’s forbidden in the Church for them to have sexual relations with another man, let alone marry another. Are you even kidding me right now?
@jgrisso07 @sitsio Oh shut up with your gas lighting. Your little shame game isn’t going to work anymore. We all have eyes and ears. And we’re in NY, so yea.
I truly believe we are reaching a flipping the tables over moment.
