Vatican Priests?

Question

Can a vatican priest get married/have children

Answer 1

No.

The celibate clergy did not come into full bloom until about 1000 A.D. There were many married priests, bishops, and popes before this time.

First, Judeo-Christian tradition has always held that single people be celibate. This is taught by Judaism and Christianity from before the Scriptures were written down.

The question should be: Why can't priests marry?

This idea of a celibate clergy came from the Jews, John the Baptist, Jesus, and the Apostle Paul.

The Jews. The Talmud argues that a person whose “soul is bound up with the Torah and is constantly occupied with it” may remain celibate (Maimonides, Laws of Marriage 15.3). For example, Yahweh ordered the prophet Jeremiah not to marry (Jeremiah 16:1-4). Moreover, the Essenes was a group that was active in Jesus’ time that practiced celibacy and thought by most scholars to be the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

WWJD? What would Jesus do? Jesus did not marry.

John the Baptist and Jesus are both believed to have been celibate for their entire lives. Some scholars believe that the example of the Essenes influenced either or both Jesus and John the Baptist in their celibacy.

The Apostle Paul is explicit about his celibacy (see 1 Cor. 7). There is also evidence in the gospel of Matthew for the practice of celibacy among at least some early Christians, in the famous passage about becoming “eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 19:12).

The concept took many twists and turns over the years and will probably take a few more before Christ returns in glory.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Hi Tom, the answer is a definite no on this, it is canon law and to break this means to have commited a grave sin, some Priests who have come into the Catholic church from the Anglican denomination and were already married at the time are exempted from this canon law and can practice as Catholic Priests but those who have taken a vow of celibacy when first ordained cannot knowingly break it.

Answer 3

this is so incorrect. only as others have suggested, they're sexist. i think of the Vatican is corrupt in each and every way. in the event that they try this, they greater proper never ever enable Catholic male monks to ever marry. and that i contemplate whether the Pope is a virgin. He greater proper be; in any different case, he would desire to be excommunicated and kicked out of the church. and that i'm hoping he does not masterbate 'reason he's no longer meant to if he's a strict Catholic. i ask your self how a lot of those Catholics accessible who accept as true with the Vatican are rather virgins or who have been while they married. Dam hypocrites.
