What is his deal?
I mean, if you don't want to adhere to doctrine, don't be a priest! It's like saying "I'm not a Christian, but I want to be a minister..." or "I'm not going to medical school, but I'm going to be a doctor."

I agree to a point but I have always felt you should not deny your self of your innate human urges. The catholic religion is the only one that says priests can not marry or have sex. What has this lead to. Priests molesting young boys. I used to be Methodist and our preacher had a wife and daughter but despite the fact he had a family and another job to support his family he was always there to help members of the church. He performed his duties as a preacher just like he should. I personally don't think that catholic priest should be celibate especially since they are allowed to drink and smoke. Having a drinking problem and being addicted to cigarettes is not as bad as having a wife and family. Something every person ultimately wants.

What(?) did you mean, by saying Catholics:
- Popish persons who are Roman Catholic Vaticanized
- or the non popish persons who are catholic(universal)
Never mind this highminded guy,
what about highminded Jesus:
Jesus: "division" and not peace
Christ: "peace" and not divided
How "many" are getting high on Jesus,
rather than all getting higher in Christ?
Jesus: right "standing", on high in heavens
Christ: "sitteth" right, far above the heavens
Jesus: the Saviour of Israel(of Jacob/Israel)
Christ: the Saviour of the world
What about:
- all Israel shall be saved
- but not all Israel are of Israel
Also what about:
- saved and destroyed afterward
- or saved(only) by grace(only)
He that endureth unto "the end" shall be "saved"(only);
Perhaps the end that God declared from the beginning,
saying: let there be light(only), not lights nor any darkness.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.

He wanted it all. To be a priest (or in his case, an archbishop, right), but have his cake and eat it too. but you're right, if you're not going to follow the rules of the post, don't do it.

Well, it's unnatural for ANYONE to not be getting some...I'd rather see a priest married than to see a priest molesting little boys....

I agree with you, but it comes as no surprise. The devil is attacking the Church from within and without. Our Lady has often spoken about this during her apparitions.

Precisely!
If he wants to continue in a "ministry" of sorts, then he needs to find the church that aligns with his views. Obviously, this isn't the Catholic church.
