I saw a glimpse of late night news showing two Filipino priests who are hoping to see Pope Francis just like the rest of us. I think they want the Vatican to accept the plights of marrying priests or married priests or those who want to marry.
Priests who want to have a woman on his bed and become fathers are free to do so. But first, they must leave the priesthood. They should stop lobbying for the Catholic Church to change the rules.
Priests are barred from having a family so that they could devote their time, puso at diwa in serving the Lord. So that their attention would not be divided.
They are supposed to be “married” to his devotion. Being a priest is not an occupation or a job or a career, it’s a sacrifice in the service of the Lord.
One doesn’t have to be a priest to do good things and to devote time to the Lord.
Even if you are married, you can serve as layman, or be a pastor. Layman and lectors can freely take a wife and beget children. Maybe you can find some other congregation that allow priests to marry.
To begin with, Catholic priests are not supposed to entertain even the slightest thought of having a girlfriend, or an effing buddy. Priests must not be flirtatious or be romantically involved with women. Kasi marami sa kanila sobrang nakikipag close sa mga babae. Syempre na de-develop. Aakbay-akbay, maya-maya nasa bewang na ang kamay, maya-maya nasa wetpu na, what’s next? O tukso layuan mo ako!
There are so many women naman na yung pari pa ang tina-target. Meron dati sa Binangonan. A lot of women found the new priest simpatico, tapos punta sila ng punta dun sa simbahan, nagbabanguhan, kahit gabi na eh willing na willing pa sila na mag volunteer. Wala na akong nabalitaan pagkatapos, siguro hindi sila type nung pari.
Sa mga babaeng naghahanap ng kalambutsingan, pwede ba wag na lang pari. Maghanap na lang ng single guy. Priests are not considered single.
Tsismis: Sino daw yung pari na nakita ni M na nakikipag-lips to lips sa gilid ng restaurant papuntang toilet? Kung tutoo yan, he should leave his vows and just ef around.
I agree. Kung gusto nilang magka anak then leave priesthood. Nagkasala na nga sila paano pa sila magiging good example, ito pa naman yung kasalanan na di mo maitutuwid ng maayos…di naman pwedeng mabura na lang yung bata. I think sa Aglipay pwede yung ganun, pero hindi sa Roman Catholic Church.
Happy New Year to you and your family Ma’am Annie 🙂
