Ok, I'm confused - why can't Priests get married? Did God say that in order to worship him or follow him or be his representative, that men cannot do the one thing that human beings are intrinsically supposed to do? And if so, why can Rabbis and Protestant Priests or anyone else on this planet have families and still represent the man? It doesn't make one bit of sense. Are the Jewish God and Protestant God or Hindu God less virtuous? Are they lesser of a God bc they allow their top Lieutenants to have sex? Are you f'ing kidding me? Now, I was raised as a Roman Catholic and even went to Catholic High School, and I am still confused. God would never have told man, the same man that he built in his image from the rib of a woman, no less, that he cannot do the one thing that he supposedly was put on this planet to do - TO PROCREATE. Yet, the Church tells catholics not to wear protection - WHAT???!!! What the hell...I mean heck! Am I wrong? Where in God's name (pardon the pun) does it say in order to believe that much in Christ that you can't have sex? THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!! And that's why you have so many closet pedophiles in the Church, and it's giving the religion a bad name. It's a good religion with a lot of good beliefs, but it's being poisoned by this stupid credence. And there are so many Priests who want to have families and would be great fathers and husbands, but who can't because of some archaic law created by the Vatican so that they could maintain power and wealth. Yes, that's why the whole barbaric rule came into place - because the church didn't want Priests to leave their possessions and properties to their wives. They wanted it left to them. And why can't Women be Priests? Are men holier than women? It's a joke. I know I've asked a lot of questions here, but I think most of you feel the same.
ROB'S ADVICE
My advice is this, Vatican, GET A CLUE. We dont live in mid-evil times anymore, and im telling you - if Priests could be normal people who could have families and write on Facebook, you'd have a lot more followers. It's not fair to them or us. Religion is a good thing. Whether or not there is some supreme being sitting in the sky judging us or creating a predestined existence, I don't know, but the thought of religion and what it means to be a part of something bigger than us is awesome. Just like the Occupy movement is starting a new political party this summer on the 4th of July, maybe it's time we create a new religious movement. Im not saying that I am putting myself in the Messiah's seat, but I think that there can be a Catholic religion where men AND women can be priests and where they can have families. I mean can you imagine two priests getting married - men with men, women with women, men with women...how much more holy could it get? Right?
POEM
Have you ever felt trapped inside yourself?
Stuck to tell a story that you cannot tell -
Limited by something inside you that wants to speak,
that needs to speak, but can't?
Try living like this everyday of your life
with an impervious shell that blocks your train of thought.
Stuck with an important message that, no mater how hard you try,
no matter how much you want it, cannot manifest itself.
Try thinking to yourself, and talking to yourself
and whispering when you're alone, and screaming when you're in crowds.
Think about dancing in your dreams or falling from the sky,
then think of kissing someone you love, only to have them die.
Everyday we're here, is everyday we live.
And everyday we live is only thinking that we care.
To be inside your only mind, makes us want to give.
To think that we don't ever do, that makes me so damn scared.
To grip your worst of fears alone,
building up in you,
Is what I go through, day by day,
the times I can't get through.
Now wrap it nice and tight and warm.
Then shutter the thoughts of who.
Becoming ghostly white you're torn
At waiting for what's anew.
Then, and only then, will you understand me.
