QUOTE FROM OFFICIAL CATHOLIC SOURCE ADVOCATING HATE AGAINST NON-CELIBATE CLERICS
Catholic doctrine holds that the Church is protected by the Holy
Spirit from error in its ecumenical councils.
The infallible decrees of the Second Lateran Council (1139) are as follows:
6. We also decree that those in the orders of subdeacon and above who have taken wives or concubines are to be deprived of their position and ecclesiastical benefice. For since they ought to be in fact and in name temples of God, vessels of the Lord and sanctuaries of the holy Spirit, it is unbecoming that they give themselves up to marriage and impurity.
7. Adhering to the path trod by our predecessors, the Roman pontiffs Gregory VII, Urban and Paschal, we prescribe that nobody is to hear the masses of those whom he knows to have wives or concubines. Indeed, that the law of continence and the purity pleasing to God might be propagated among ecclesiastical persons and those in holy orders, we decree that where bishops, priests, deacons, subdeacons, canons regular, monks and professed lay brothers have presumed to take wives and so transgress this holy precept, they are to be separated from their partners. For we do not deem there to be a marriage which, it is agreed, has been contracted against ecclesiastical law. Furthermore, when they have separated from each other, let them do a penance commensurate with such outrageous behaviour.
Decree 6 says that even subdeacons, these do not receive any of the sacrament of
order, are to be punished if they are married. The explanation is that they are
temples of the Lord and sanctuaries of the Holy Spirit so they cannot give
themselves up to marriage. The claim of the Vatican II Church that celibacy is
just a discipline that can be changed is refuted by this decree. The decree
plainly says it is immoral and dirty.
Decree 7 says that there is no marriage when a cleric takes a wife. The cleric
must separate from the wife. If celibacy were just a discipline, would it be
right to declare their marriages void and break up families? Celibacy is the
holiest state. Marriage is good but celibacy is holier. However the acts of sex
even in marriage are tainted with sin and are defiling. These decrees say as
much.
The Masses of such clerics are thought to be blasphemous and so the faithful
must not attend them. How much more then is it a sin to attend the eucharists
and divine worship services of Protestants? Most of these clerics believed that
the Church had no right to hound them for getting married and their sincerity was
not considered a justification for others attending their Masses. Sounds a lot
like opposition to today's ideas about choice and autonomy. The message is
that we must do
without the body and blood of Christ rather than go to such priests. This is
very strong but then the Bible God does command us to be holy and holy means separate.
For me this is an example of how a religion might look good but
we cannot ignore the dark implications of its teaching.
