European Pope a bad role model for human marriage?

Post Reply New Topic

Is the politician known as the European Pope, who views men ministers married to women as evil, a bad role model for human marriage on earth? Does the European Pope stand on the wrong side of human rights by opposing women priests based on the principle of gender discrmination (women priests are evil because they are women)? Why does the European Pope practice discrimination on the basis of marital status (unmarried ministers are superior to married ministers)? Many of the men in the Bible were married to women: Moses, King David, and Peter. Even Mary was married to the carpenter, Joseph. What would Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (USA civil rights leader) say about it?

No he isn't. Only un-informed and un-educated would beleive he would be. If you don't agree with un-married male priest than you can leave the one holy catholic apostolic church and start your own denomination that is not in communion with Rome. It those mostly who are misunderstanding about catholicism that are against it various teachings. Its not all scripture but tradition too. You can ask yourself this; was Jesus male and was He ever married?

Saw a great documentary, it was called The Da Vinci Code or something like it, it affirmed Jesus was married and had children.

From the Bible, it is clear that Peter was married to a woman (New Testament). There are a lot of good Christian male ministers who are married to women and have children like Dr. Billy Graham.

Apparently Paul (New Testament) of the Bible was married too (to a woman) - many scholars of Judaism suggest that Paul was.

Peter ("Rocky") was named by his parents Shimon. He was a Jew and Jewish men are inclined to get married. Y'shuah bar Yosef (Jesus) was also a Jewish man, but being crucified interfered with any wedding plans he might have had.

Agree, marriage works when one gets married and starts a family before getting crucified by the local politicians.

As I recall, the Bible is not that clear as to Jesus's dating pattern prior to his death. There is a lot of evidence that a number of women followed him/attended his evangelism/miracle healing lectures, and financially supported his ministry. There has been speculation that Mary Magdalene was his girlfriend, finance, maybe even his wife. The Bible says there's a lot of stuff left out about the life of Jesus because it wouldn't fit in the New Testament.

If Yoshky Pundric was truly the Son of God I wonder what one half of His DNA was like.

A Nazi in a silly hat is a bad rolemodel for anything to anyone.

Benny 16 is an ex-Nazi (he was a member of the Hitler Judgend).

Only one problem with that. When most of us say "Amen!" He says Jawohl!

Plus, quite fittingly, Pope Benedict is an anagram for Epic Bent Pedo. Coincidence? I think not!

I really don't get that. Could you explain please?

Well, ya know, because Pope Benedict let off all those Catholic priests who did... Not nice things to the choir boys.

A quaint priestly custom; the buggering of the altar boys.

I will bet good money that in ancient Egypt the Priests of Ra and Horace did stuff like that too.

Here is a list of Good Reasons to bugger Egyptian altar boys:

There's theories out there that there may have been a female companion to Josh but they were edited out because being celibate was in vogue (along with virgin births). Some stupidity about you can't be divine unless you completely deny sexuality (which is also absurd since the story is supposed to go that Josh was human as well as being the son of god...or a prophet depending on how you read it/which side you're viewing it).

Well, Christianity has more in common with the worship of Horace than it does Jewish tradition so, yeah, that fits.
