There I Said It.
When Jesus comes back to earth will he find any faith IN HIM as opposed to the created belief structure that finds no support in him in mandatory lifetime celibacy?
The Pope is all over the map defending priestly celibacy and eh em, virginity (yeah right, virginity).

He says it is integral to the priesthood. Which is not what JPII said. Because theologically that is an incorrect unfounded statement. The Pope is not God. There is but one God and this is the first commandment.
Priest after priest (former priest after former priest) has come out and said that it harms the church, its body, its members and creates something that so missed the mark of what Jesus wanted his body to function like that it blasphemes the Holy Spirit. Peter the first Pope was married. Every apostle and disciple of age was likely married because Jewish tradition insisted upon it. Look up Rentapriest.com
The church didn't create the 'rule' as such until the 1100s. It is believed to be a way to protect church property from then evolving prima geniture inheritance laws, and is now considered by priests even to be a social contract of employment to protect church assets. Why did it change after a millennium of doing it the Jewish way? Because as city states emerged from the dark ages in Europe with their legal regimes there became rules regarding property- just as massive church structures were being built. People did not want church properties and massive monastery properties to go to family members. That is why it evolved. It has zero to do with theology and everything to do with the human institutional asset building of the church.
The fact that it is not a theologically founded spiritually necessary part of priesthood is evident from the fact that Anglican priests get to bring in their whole married families and not divorce wives when they become Roman Catholic Priests, and Byzantine, Melkite, Eastern Rite and middle eastern versions of Roman Catholic priestdom are all allowed to be openly married TO WOMEN. Why this Pope thinks only the Western European ones have to maintain the ruse of celibacy is bizarre, not founded on scripture, nothing Jesus taught and created massive perversions that someone is paying billions of dollars for. This is financial tomfoolery. It is irresponsible stewardship- and it is directly related to the ban on priestly marriage in ways so obvious one has to challenge the intellectual honesty of the Pope-who should be smarter than that.
Why on earth would anyone go to any priest on marriage advice or confession related to marriage related issues from someone so psychosocially immature on a sexual level, or repressed homosexually- someone forced into celibacy to serve God. Weird. Totally Weird.
No, Benoit Benedict, You are Wrong. Again. Loudly, Insistently, Wrong.
It caters to the selfishness of the large money donors who refuse to pay for a priest's wife or family because the priest is supposed to be concerned with them and not have personal concerns. It is a selfishness and a greed. No wonder priests hide wives in foreign places, abscond with funds and play diversionary attention games with the Watergate Widows Club of lonely octogenarians.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. It is a uniquely Western European rule, that is rooted in fighting Western European property rights laws. It has NOTHING to do with Jesus.
And further, you are going to be held accountable in the hereafter for all the pain this wrongness has caused.

There are believed to be now between 150,000 and 200,000 married roman catholic priests who have been treated abysmally because they found Love - they found God, in a marital union.
You should be ashamed.
