Should Catholic Church Change Its Church Doctrine
It must be understood that there is no where in the Bible, which contains the written word of God, wherein God forbids a spiritual leader or servant, man or woman from getting married. This is only the doctrine and teachings of the Catholic church who forbids its spiritual leaders popes, nuns and priests from marrying. This is NOT a teaching of the Scriptures in the Bible.The Bible teaches that a man and a woman should marry if they are unable to contain themselves s*xually. All of the disciples/apostles of Jesus were married therefore, I have no idea where the Catholic church gets the idea that it is forbidden. But then, the Catholic church has many teachings and doctrines that are not based on what God teaches and/or are not written in the Bible, but are church doctrines.
QUESTIONS:
1. Should the Catholic church change its doctrinal teachings to fit what God has spoken in His written word about marriage being between a man and a woman, or should the Catholic church go along with the teachings and beliefs of the world to allow gay marriages between the priests and nuns, in order to be political correct?
2. Since gay marriages and relationships are forbidden by GOD, and is not what God approves of in the church... Should straight priests and nuns be allowed to get married to each other or have outside relationships (male and female) to prevent so much molestation and gay relationships going on in the Catholic church?

Pope Francis 'Saddened' 2 Lesbian Nuns Marry Believing Their Love Is 'Gift of God'

Vatican leader Pope Francis was reportedly saddened by news of two former Roman Catholic nuns who married each other, calling their love a "gift of God."
"What sadness on the face of the pope when I read him the news of the two 'nun' brides," reads an English translation of a Tweet sent out by Vatican Undersecretary of State, Archbishop Angelo Becciu, according to Breitbart News.
The brides in question were only identified by the names Federica and Isabel in a report by the Italian daily La Repubblica, in which they also characterize their love as a "gift of God" that "no one can prevent."
The former nuns, who are both in their 40s, tied the knot in a civil union in Turin at the end of September. Reports added that the nuns met during a missionary trip to Guinea Bissau, and were seemingly encouraged to move forward in their relationship by the words of Francis himself, who once said "Who am I to judge?" about a gay person who wants to be a Catholic.
The former nuns added that they wanted to "leave the religious life and begin a path of freedom and faith lived with serenity, without scandal, beneath the merciful gaze of God."
"You can advise [gay people] to pray, show goodwill, show them the way, and accompany them along it," the pontiff explained at the time.
"The Church does not exist to condemn people, but to bring about an encounter with the visceral love of God's mercy."
In another interview on the subject matter earlier in October, Francis argued that Jesus Christ would not turn away a person just because he or she is gay.
"But each case must be welcomed, accompanied, studied, discerned and integrated. When a person (who is gay) arrives before Jesus, Jesus certainly will not say, 'Go away because you are homosexual,'" the Roman Catholic Church leader said.
Francis also said that he recognizes there are people who struggle with gender identity, but that is different from "indoctrinating people in gender theory" by teaching it in schools, he warned.

I read a long time ago that this is already so in Holland.
Yes the Bible talks about bishops and your wives.
The reason the Catholic Church does not allow priests to marry is because a long time ago, greedy men decided if priests had no heirs, the church would collect all their wealth upon their death.
I can try to save you if you allow me to
I suggest starting with understanding where that bible you hold in your hands came from. Just spend a little time researching it.
2000 year old stories that were written hundreds of years after they supposedly happened. Come on. We can do better! You trust science for everything else important in your life. How about some 2000 year old heath care for your loved ones?
That would be I Corinthinians 7: 9, hex.
