"Commandment of celibacy"???
I am pretty sure that's not a thing? Like that's not one of the big ten. I don't remember Jesus saying anything about commanding it, though he said to accept it if you can. I do remember stuff about rich people, though. That may be relevant considering they're spending $4mil to go after gay priests...
A new monk arrived at the monastery. He was assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He noticed, however, that they were copying copies, not the original books. The new monk went to the head monk to ask him about this. He pointed out that if there were an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies.
The head monk said, ‘We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son.’ The head monk went down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.
Hours later, nobody had seen him, so one of the monks went downstairs to look for him. He heard a sobbing coming from the back of the cellar and found the old monk leaning over one of the original books, crying.
He asked what was wrong.
‘The word is ‘celebrate,’ not ‘celibate’!’ sobbed the head monk.
Yeah celibacy is about inheritance not Jesus in Catholicism. Do they think the guy who convinced multiple men to ditch their wives and kids to wander the desert with a bunch of men was really that into celibacy and men not getting it on?
I think they think he's gay and that's the real reason.
I'm willing to bet he isn't. Most priests who engage in same sex acts with underage kids (for example) are not gay and have never wanted any kind of adult gay relationship. I only point this out because people think that priests = gay. Most same-sex pedophiles aren't gay and have no desire for normal adult gay relationships at all.
