A catholic priest must remain celibate and not marry. I'm asking this because I ran into an old friend of mine that I had not seen in years. She mentioned that her nephew now has his own congregation and is engaged to be married.

Usually, cult leaders get all kinds of trim.

This coaching is fairly Scriptural! Paul writes in a million Cor 7:8-9 that it fairly is extra advantageous for those in ministry to stay single except their passions are such that they won't be able to restrain themselves - for this reason marriage is favorite particularly than have them fall into the sin of lust. area of his reason is given in a million Cor 7:32-35. observe that this would not forbid marriage (as marriage isn't forbidden in Catholicism) yet particularly helps people who decide on a celibate existence so as to be right dedicated to the Lord's provider. i come across it interesting that each and every time this question pops up, some point out is created from 'human nature' and the libido or intercourse force. that's the very factor that Paul taught we ought to regulate! Clerical celibacy is admirable, an extremely public sacrifice of something a lot of human beings do certainly delight in, and this sacrifice is finished for the sake of the Lord and undivided devotion to His provider! we are able to correctly discover the money for to have some few thousand adult males forswear marriage and procreation without annoying touching directly to the tip of existence in the worldwide. yet actual we are created bigger than the animals and could work together the fruit of the Spirit, that is power of will.

Christianity.
"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and DOCTRINES OF DEMONS, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, FORBIDDING TO MARRY..." (1 Timothy 4:1-4)
"A bishop then must be... the husband of one wife..." (1 Timothy 3:2)
Even Peter, who the Catholics claim to be the first Pope, was married! (Matthew 8:14, Luke 4:28)

i go to the church of Christ and they let their leaders get married and baptist preachers, but the bible never does say they cant get married.
Look at "A bishop then must be... the husband of one wife..." (1 Timothy 3:2)
PS: peter was also married mat8:14

Protestant Christians are all allowed to marry, it is only Catholid priests who can't. I know because my father is a minister.
