Why Jesus Would Have To Church Shop When He Comes Back

Because He Wouldn't Recognize Himself in part of the Priesthood.

Why did Jesus choose Peter? Because he was a solid married man who took care of his mother- in -law. Peter did all kinds of stuff against the grain- denied Jesus three times, lacked faith in the middle of the water after hearing his call and venturing to walk on it, threw out the one old dirty net instead of actually believing Jesus when he said that there would be an abundance of fish in a huge catch. Peter suffered and openly exercised disbelief, doubt, and denial, he was taken to task by Paul who disagreed with him and openly dissented regarding the issue of circumcizing Greeks and the Judaic rules as applied to gentiles (so much for party loyalty), he wanted to build a bunch of tents for the apparitions of Moses, and Elijiah at the transfiguration- like they need tents-clueless. Peter didn't get a lot of things- but his heart was pure and good- he was a good solid Family Man. He had a wife.No rumor or innuendo of impropriety, no appearances of impropriety or dalliances with ladies of ill repute. Good Solid Family Man.
The Catholic Church has completely excised the story of Mrs. Peter, Mrs. Rock, Mrs. on THIS I will build my church. On THIS.
You can't find a statue of her in the Vatican or anywhere. You can't even find her name in a gospel. Was she hiding in the kitchen? Darning in the dungeon maybe? Out back planting tomatos?
If you ask enough Vatican guides or one at the Lateran steps, you might get one to tell you in hushed tones that it is rumored that Mrs. Simon Peter who travelled to Rome with Peter was martyred alongside her husband as you would expect, similarly upside down. Her grave is unmarked. Peter's grave gets a Vatican built on it.

The mere mention of the fact that Peter had a wife has old world italian women cringing as if that were a hideously immoral thought.

HOW PERVERSE. How Wrong. How Evil.

Party loyalty demands apparently that the entire Catholic World subscribe to this perversion which has substituted instead the Watergate Sugar Momma syndrome, the demented parish basement housewife syndrome (where wealthy widows treat their favorite best looking priests as personal escorts) for "Traditional Marriage." It's the demonic mission creep of a spirit of harlotry- parading as piety.

It's OK to make "families" of hordes and harems of lonely widows who pay the parish light bills, but not OK to have your own children--yet you want to lecture gay people on why they can't have any? You want to kick any man out of the priesthood for having an actual age appropriate girlfriend of still child-bearing age? Are you people crazy?.

Party loyalty is going to demand something else in 2012- it is going to demand that because of the "traditional marriage" issue, as it is perceived by the church, as the defining culture war issue, it will be deemed uncatholic once again to vote Democratic- which is a slap in the face of Matthew 25 on his feast day. It is going to rock the heavens.

2012 is a "Ready for the Rapture" year according to many prophesies.
There will be cosmic explosive happenings that will stun and supercede doctrinal purists who won't know what hit them and they will have to rethink the orthodoxy laid down by the octogenarian celibates. 2012 is going to be a blow out. You are going to hear from the heavens themselves having ignored the signs on earth.

Instead, 2 BILLION dollars have been paid from church funds, properties sold and entire Archdiocese bankrupted because of lawsuits
involving Sexual Immorality and abuse. Abuse. Priests behaving badly- ALL MEN priests behaving badly. 2 Billion dollars worth.

And having a wife is less moral? Less "chaste?" Less Holy?
OK, not fair you say- that is only 5 percent of us which is about the norm in the general population. 5% of the total population and 5% of any order or religion are criminal or quasi-criminal miscreants. We just take more heat.
That may or may not be true, but what is true is that zero percent of the catholic priesthood by definition have healthy marriages. They have unhealthy attachments, co-dependencies, flirtations with fantasies and abusive reactions to anyone threatening their standing and status as "celibates." Some of them actually have the "gift" of celibacy and don't emotionally abuse, manipulate and torture women.
Stop demonizing marriage and women who seek it. The notion that the holiest people are definitionally men wearing dresses, and women who don't bear children is just not from Jesus.
