No, I just deleted the older one, and on the first I forgot the flag.

I am a catholic.

Nothing in the Bible indicates that celibacy is only for clergy. On the contrary, a bishop is commanded to have a wife.

>>569287

Don't sidetrack my thread, m8.

>>569289

Extrapolate your opinion, my dear laughing-pictures-poster.

>>569290

How did I sidetrack it? What I posted was on-topic. If you only wanted Catholics to respond you should've said that in the OP.

>>569292

Uhm, Jesus might find your catholic position funny…?

>>569298

I limited the question to wheter one should get married or ordained. If ordained people should be allowed to marry or not is a non-issue (here).

If this bothers you so much, then consider it as "to marry (and be ordained or not) or to stay in perpetual singleness".

>>569301

Go back to leddit, lad.

Bumpey.

Most likely, you're not virtuous enough to be chaste. In that case, you're supposed to get a wife.

If somehow you're chaste, you should stay single.

>I'm catholic

Official catholic doctrine is that everyone except clergy should marry and marriage should only be for reproduction.

I'm struggling with masturbation, but avoiding fornication is easy peasy.

>Official catholic doctrine is that everyone except clergy should marry and marriage should only be for reproduction.

I will require some proofs on this.

Is it wrong to get married if I don't want kids?

>>569275

>or

>>569474

Yes, a marriage should be fruitful. Also, contraception is a sin.

>>569475

This is shitposting.

>Yes, a marriage should be fruitful. Also, contraception is a sin.

>Same ID on both posts

Why are you asking me for proof of something you already know?

>>569488

I know marriage should be fruitful, but I don't know if one is bound to marry at all.

>>569489

The very first thing in all of Creation that God said was "not good" was "man being alone". So, he created for us a partner. If God himself is saying that it's not good for man to be alone, then who are you to argue?

>>569526

I'm not really alone, I have me mum, dummie.

>>569529

Adam and Eve had babies.

>>569545

Babies or no babies, I'm not alone.

1 Timothy 3:2

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

1 Timothy 4:1-3

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

>>569526

Did you read Genesis?

When God said that, he first asked Adam to pick a animal. He only made woman when he found out there was none in there.

The relations were first supposed to be non-sexual, and they return to being non-sexual when you ascend to heaven.

>>569545

After they fell out form Paradise, and now the epistles mention you should be chaste if you can be.

>>569574

>He only made woman when he found out there was none in there.

Ahem, sentence got misled.

He only made woman when he found out that none of the animals were best suited for Adam.

>>569526

Are you saying it was "not good" for Christ to be un-married?
