Lots of views about religion lately...this issue is a big one on my list. I'd like to hear what anyone may have to say on this subject, for or against, or, don't care.

Im sure the rants will be all pretty much the same. It will eventually happen. Hopefully sooner, rather than later. The average age of the Catholic Clergy is about 58. Most new priests in Canada are imported from Eastern Europe. The Vatican will be faced with a clergical meltdown in several years. The celibacy issue is the prime cause of low, to, non existant recruitment. I also believe that womem should be able to be ordained Catholic priests as well. The Protestant denominations made it happen. The R.C's could learn from them.

I see this as a clearcut black and white issue yet we have a "don't care" and a "no comment" posts. Would either of these members care to elaborate?confused

Yes! They might be a priest but still people like us who has needs just like us. I think it would make things easier for them if they could.

Yes that is sooo true girl! ...they ARE people and unfortunatley i hear too many stories about them abusing which really pisses me off!
I'm almost ashamed to admit i was born Catholic. They should be allowed to marry and not have to be by themselves.

I am sure that the many who are gay and would like to marry, Should be allowed to marry, Why not?? This is 2007 coming upon us, When was the bible written? And who by, I dont wish to go on a religious rant, Im sure my views would be seen as contraversial, Maybe i should write a new copy of the bible a bit more up to date and modern, I am sure it would be a popular read a guaranteed best seller, Now pass me that pen laugh wine
