Pope Francis said the following on celibacy:-
"for the moment, I am in favor of maintaining celibacy, with all its pros and cons, because we have ten centuries of good experiences rather than failures...... Tradition has weight and validity."
(source Wiki)
THE TRUTH is that Clerical Celibacy DESTROYED the Roman Catholic Church ten centuries ago - turning it into merely a part of the Feudal system.
"Good experiences"?
Eh? Larfable, cryable, doesn't exist.
"Weight and validity"?
Compulsory Clerical Celibacy? Er. ARE YOU JOKING. It has no such things. It was a scam to keep the church as the landowners of the Pope. A scam.
It has never recovered.
Its reputation has been shattered possibly irredeemably by this and so many other issues.
The Litany of Infamy of the Roman Catholic Church:
- The Donation of Constantine,
- the Faking of the remains of St.Peter,
- the false teachings of Saint Augustine,
- Child Abuse,
- the unacknowledged Murder of Pope Luciani by the Vatican (1978).
- "Papal Infallibity"
- the recent endorsement and encouragement of the already prevalent homosexuality which was ecouraged by the enforcement of celibacy. (I fully tolerate this behaviour but do not approve of it).
- the evil insistence that sex is only for procreation!.....
- the larfably silly, truly evil and hence FALSE teaching of the literal reality of eternal suffering
- the teaching of the truly evil doctrine of mortal sin!..
- the great ditching of 1054
- Hitler's Pope
- the Spanish Inquisition
- False teaching on birth control
- Instilling devotion by FEAR
- Belief in priestly essentialness, difference and dominance - A COMPLETE LIE.
- Belief that only the Priest and the Building can absolve - SUCH A LIE
NONE properly acknowledged!
"Semper reformandum" - YEAH AZ IF!!!!!
.........
And due to the LIE AND FANTASY of COMPULSORY CLERICAL CELIBACY alone, this MONARCHIC continuation of the Roman Empire is hopefully NEARLY FINISHED.
Before things got silly, what became the Pope was merely the Bishop of Rome with no pretensions to any primacy.
Many, many will rejoice at its possible demise.
I would like to ask "Pope Emeritus" Benedict XVI how - for example - the Greek Orthodox Church is an "INSUFFICIENT" form of Christianity?
How dare this ex-Nazi say that at all?

========================================
It's time the tale were told of how Pope Gregory VII took a religion and destroyed it!
"This battle for the foundation of papal supremacy is connected with his championship of compulsory celibacy among the clergy .......... "
Gregory VII (effectively) INTRODUCED the LIE of celibacy of the priesthood into the Church.
He enforced this totally silly and evil measure across the Church with rigour!
He did it to secure the power of the Papacy and the Church within the Feudal System.
But it as good as destroyed Christianity - even then!
"In 1074 he published an "encyclical", absolving the people from their obedience to bishops who allowed married priests. The next year he enjoined them to take action against married priests, and deprived these clerics of their revenues. Both the campaign against priestly marriage and that against simony provoked widespread resistance."
Hardly surprising.
WE ARE NOW IN THE YEAR 2017 A.D, - clerical celibacy MUST BE top of the list, frankly Pope Franky, of things to go in the dustbin of history!
I now maintain that the Church along with the whole Christian religion is not reformable and should be abolished.
Hopefully it will wither away.
