I did not come up with this idea; however, I do remember reading it in an article. This occured at the height of all the scandals about the Priests having sex with, and molesting children at the church. One guy wrote an article suggesting that though the actions of the Priest are indeed wrong, could some of the fault perhaps lie with the church, for not allowing them to marry? He pointed out that he believed that it is unnatural for Priests not to be able to marry, because they are human and need sex like everyone else. He felt that since sex is natural, and that there is even acknowledgement in the Bible of the fact that people are going to need and engage in sex, and if that must be, then they need to do it within a marriage. The man also points out, that the no sex and marriage rules for Priests, are rules made by man, and they weren't given by God, and aren't written in the Bible. So, this is his argument that Priests need to be allowed to marry. Do you agree with him?
