I am firmly committed to my Catholic faith and as a priest, I only want the Church to realise why it is losing so many adherents. It has less to do with the difficulty of accepting moral authority and more to do with moral contradictions in the Church.

Why is it ok for married convert priests to remain married Catholic priests, when our own faithful priests are denied marriage? I served almost 20 years as a faithful Catholic priest and was told that I had to leave in order to follow the vocation of marriage. I see this as the sin of the Church today.

09/30/2011 ...San Pietro e Dintorni<br />by Marco Tosatti<br />09/30/2011 <br />Cardinal Dias opens up the discussion on married priests<br /><br /><br /> <br />MARCO TOSATTI<br />ROME<br /> <br />A letter dated 2 February 2011 was sent by Cardinal Ivan Dias, former Prefect of the Congregation of Propaganda Fide, before he left this important role, urging bishops to involve priests who have asked for a special licence from the Church to marry, in parish life.<br /> <br />The letter was sent to a priest who had written to the Congregation, on behalf of an Australian missionary society which is fighting for a loosening of the ban on marriage, for priests who have obtained a licence. In the letter, Cardinal Dias said he trusted that the Vatican would implement reforms that would allow priests in this category to lead a more active life in the Church, under the guidance of their Bishop. The rescript which grants priests the licence, and their consequent “secularisation” prevents said priests from saying mass, pronouncing homilies, administering the Eucharist, teaching or working in seminaries and places restrictions on them teaching in Catholic schools and universities. According to the letter, bishops should have discretionary power over some of these bans; especially those relating to the teaching of theology in both Catholic and non Catholic schools and universities, and to priests’ contact with the parishes where they used to celebrate mass and administer the Eucharist.rosannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10354109.post-79297333124312991752011-10-07T01:20:51.434-04:002011-10-07T01:20:51.434-04:00After decades of unrelenting vilification and deni...After decades of unrelenting vilification and denigration of former priests by the Roman Curia and the Hierarchy, why would their victims WANT to serve under such leaders???kaythegardenernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10354109.post-67625010554290790212011-10-04T11:29:41.585-04:002011-10-04T11:29:41.585-04:00Diocesan priests do not have "vows" oc c...Diocesan priests do not have "vows" oc celibacy, but rather promise obedience to the bishop, who in the Latin Church requires celibacy as a condition of priestly ordination.

But far more men may lead normal sexual lives, in healthy marriages, and be excellent priests. We need look only at our brothers and sisters in Christ, in the Orthodox and Protestant segments.rewinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008105385364113371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10354109.post-79676077938415206282011-09-14T12:37:26.150-04:002011-09-14T12:37:26.150-04:00I'm not cynical about the bishop's comment...I'm not cynical about the bishop's comments because there are many, many other bishops and priests who have said the same thing, though not always with such force and so publicly. Those who actually protest aloud are less likely to have skeletons in their closets than those who suffer in silence. It's the latter who are more likely to be leading double lives and they don't open their mouths because they don't want to draw attention to themselves. Think about it.<br /><br />I do agree with the former seminarian who said that he wished the bishop had had the courage to speak out and try to change Church policy while he was in a position to actually influence it. This man, who left in order to get married, said that he would still be interested in becoming a priest if the Church were to reverse itself in this area.Rebel Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705855840016468399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10354109.post-51329148162118056142011-09-13T14:06:48.086-04:002011-09-13T14:06:48.086-04:00Any comment from any bishop questioning the role o...Any comment from any bishop questioning the role of celibacy of our priests should be met with cynicism.

The truth is that homosexuality was at the root of Church Sex Abuse scandal. The hypocrisy of PC language lies at the root of the hidden dangers of homosexuality in the priesthood.

Surely the blogger can come to the correct conclusion on the evidence.<br />For those priests who want celibacy and women priests, there is always the Anglican Church.
