Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.
Quote:"if St Joseph & the Blessed Virgin Mary were to have <b>sexual intercourse</b>, it'll be like chewing gum." In other words... <b>a lower good</b>. They were called to a unique degree of <b>chastity in their marriage</b>. Today in the Catholic Church, we have celibate religious orders that follow their example.
INDEEEEEEEEEEEED :glare:
But what makes sexual intercourse between husbands and wives "a lower good" ?
<b>Like other Roman Catholic priests, Father Roger has taken vows of poverty, obedience and celibacy
to stay pure and focused on God. His parishioners trust Roger, who has known since grade school that he wanted to devote his life to the church. But he’s afraid if they knew the truth about him he would lose that sacred trust. </b>
Quote:“My ministry will not be able to continue if people knew that <b>I was HIV-positive</b>,” says Roger, <b>who is gay </b> and has broken his vows of celibacy.
<b>Father Roger is not the only HIV-positive priest. He estimates that over the course of his ministry, he has known 15 to 20 priests who have contracted HIV through homosexual relations. Many have died. </b>
ABC NEWS.
My point is this, abstaining from sexual intercourse is <b>NOT</b> Necessarily going to make a person superior or more chaste than other human beings, and so your point is just meaningless FHC, because your spiritual leaders whom you consider to be chaste just because they are not married, <b>are not to be trusted as we have seen in the case of FATHER Roger.</b>
I hope that make sense (<b>of course not to you FHC</b>) :D
