Pope To Say...I Do???



 
Pope Francis
A Catholic German priest has asked the Pope to give up his vow of celibacy. Priest Stefan Hartmann sent a personal petition to Pope Francis this week via his Facebook page and I was just wondering that it won’t be a bad idea.

Although the requirement for priestly celibacy has been there for many years it has been abused due to the fact that many priests have been caught sexually molesting children, having gay relationships and some even have children despite this oath.

Celibacy is a state of abstaining from any form of sexual intercourse but because ‘body no be wood’ it seems it is becoming hard for most of these priests to hold on to it.
 
Priest Stefan
For Priest Stefan, he revealed earlier this year that he has fathered a daughter since 1989 a few years after he took his vow of celibacy and he has been hiding that secret all these years and this made his superiors ask him to step down. My question is since 1989 did having a child stop him from carrying out his priestly services well since that time?

The truth is there is a human right to sex, partnership and marriage even if one gives it up for religious reasons. Even Paul in the Bible said if you cannot bear it you should marry rather than burn in secret for wanting sex. I even know of a lady who when we were in the university was having an affair with a catholic priest and it went on for a long time!!!

So the million dollar question is should catholic priests be allowed to marry and remain ordained?
