Catholic Church says that under canon law priests are not allowed to marry and must remain celibate for life.


A Sydney Catholic priest who revealed he has been married for a year has been removed from his post by church officials.
Father Kevin Lee, a priest at Padre Pio parish in Glenmore Park, told Channel Seven last night he married his wife, whom he met in the Philippines, in secret last year.
''I've fallen in love and I've got married and it's outside of most people's awareness,'' he said. ''But I'm sure people within the church could have had a suspicion.''
He said his public admission was motivated by the fact that many priests led a double life. ''I think celibacy has to go,'' he said.
The head of the Diocese of Parramatta, Anthony Fisher OP, denied Father Lee's claims that most priests lived double lives and that the church knew about the priest's marriage.
''As Father Kevin is aware, by his actions he can no longer operate as a priest and as a result I will immediately be appointing an administrator to Padre Pio parish,'' Bishop Fisher said in a statement.
Father Lee said he expected his family would be ''deeply disappointed about these revelations''.

One thing is for certain, the Catholic Church are not Bible believers... that's for sure!

1 Timothy 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

1 Corinthians 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

i don't know who you are or who you work for, but you get paid to shill on here about catholics. anytime anything catholic is posted, you have a 99.9% comment rate almost immediately. you'll go days, weeks without posting until something catholic related shows up, and then BAM, you're in for the big win.

Catholic Priests traditionally are not allowed to be "married" in the flesh, because they are to dedicate their lives and devotion to the Bride of Christ, which is the Church.

It's really not complicated. I don't know if I agree with it or not, but it's a simple premise.

I think that Catholic priests are allowed to be married --- provided that they were married prior to becoming priests. Don't have a source on that, but I believe that I've read that somewhere.

Dont normally like talking about religion as it is often a touche subject

So Priests become married to the church ,sort of

Christ has a bride, but priests dont ,which is the church,

did Christ get a say in this or is it a one sided marriage.

You can do a search for my posts (by user name) to find out that your accusations are completely FALSE!
Perhaps the Lord had me login just after the post. Never considered that? Thought not.

It is approiate that I respond since my testimony is that of an Ex-Catholic. The catholic church almost sent me to hell, I got saved by the grace of God trusting in the blood of Jesus Christ as the ONCE for all sacriifce for sins forever. Something that the Cat church refuses to accept and if you're Catholic and trusting in the Catholic church... you're going to hell, in fact you're as good as in hell with the door shut right this second! The Catholic church is satan's church, make no mistake about it.

Hebrews 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, (like the mass) which can never take away sins:
Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

There's a world of difference between Christ's Church and the Catholic Church.

Most Protestants practice the occult anyways and don't know about it. You guys aren't much different than the Catholics.
