the reason they don't get married is so they can devote their lives to God & not be distracted by serving a spouse.

i don't think they suspect that God hates to see them have sex.

Were they asked by God to do so?fficeffice" />>>

I know that God hates to see people devote their lives to worship him, and not practice their normal lives.>>

I believe they feel led, perhaps by God, to do so.

i think they would disagree with you - they would not agree that God hates to see people devote their lives to worship.

i'm not catholic, so i'm just giving you my best guess.

whilhelmi can we continue ?

if God Leads someone to this path, he would finish his job ,by letting this desire (for sex) to die in this human.

plus, are you making fun of Jesus.?????

I was raised catholic so making fun of jesus is one of my favorite pastimes.

What does my having red hair have to do with anything? Plus, if you know how to use the internet you would know how to look things up like what catholocism is and why priests are celibate.

great response. i think catholicism is one of more confused ideaologies. no wonder you feel that way.

housewife - God doesn't turn off our humanity just because he calls us to something. he calls us to love one another - but he doesn't "disable" our natural tendency to hate our enemies.

same with sex, or any other desire.

Then ...God calls the wrong people.?
Doesn't God know better whom to call?
and if they devote their lives to God, without being distracted by taking care of their spouse.. then molesting young boys is not distracting them at all?

the more I get involved in this the more confusion I come up with.

he doesn't call the wrong people. might be wrong by our standards, but we can't see the other side of the tapestry.

some feel called but maybe aren't. others become priests for reasons other than a calling.

i don't think you can put a nice, neat package around pedophelia & understand why anyone would molest a boy.

Do you ever notice that when you type Jesus. Christmas, that your spell check wants to change it to a capital.

if you answered yes to any of these questions then you have been brought up with religion...

Do you have people around you that pray for the troops in Iraq or otherwise. Do you watch the news? Did you ever stay at a hotel where there was a bible in the night table?

Just trying to give you perspective.....If you will take it. It is up to you. We all have free will....................
