Hello Lotters,
We have heard a lot of scandals coming from the priest involving Rape, Abuse and even harassment. I've heard some news about a certain priest who steals donations of church and sends it to his family in the Philippines ,don't know what happen to that priest.
Another Priest who used to be short tempered stop becoming priest because he met the one that made him happy.
But this is yet something
(probably not new either). A priest was forced to leave the church because the Nun that he fell in love with left the church because of her illness. he couldn't take it anymore that he decided to leave. they start living in and waiting for the dispension coming from the Pope. they have two kids.
that's why I am not going to priesthood! No matter how many times family members teased me

There are so many ways to serve god and you don't have to sacrifice your basic need to do it, if you know what I mean.
. As far as I'm concerned, those two are better than those priests who still remain single and yet continue to do horrible things to the innocents.

" Many are called but few are chosen" as the adage says about priesthood.
In this case, the priest was called but eventually was not meant to be chosen as a forever priest, because he fell in love with a former nun.
He was human after all, and has feelings too. So, i am not surprised that he abandoned being a priest, rather than sin further while being a priest.

Hello Simplyd, I strongly agree with you on this one because base on the statement of former bishop, there are at least 200 priest that had been given dispensation, that means not every one is called or chosen for priesthood. yeah, i guess it's better than doing it as a sin like all other priest involved. have a nice day.

Hi Letran, Thanks for liking my response and agreeing with it too. Love is undeniably , one aspect of being human that cannot be avoided.

hi LK,
priesthood is a commitment of self to God and being married to him, you vowed to be celibate and keep yourself away from the sin of the flesh.
it seems that more priests coming in at present lacks that commitment hence they either get out of the seminary or end up getting married to another human.. a girl.

Hello tiger-aunt, It's really hard to determine whether the priest really answered from a call or not. Not every one calls for priest hood. that's why no matter how many times my teachers or my dad would tease of being a priest just because am single i'd never do it because i know i won't last and i might fell in love along the way.

dear LK,
They are also human and still prone to made mistake/s.
We cannot judge them for their wrong doings.
I never condemned a priest when they made mistake.
If loving someone caused them to leave the their oath and promise, it is because they only follow their heart and being honest to themselves.
Everyone, anyone can serve GOD without confining in solidarity.
have a good day dear brother

Hello Jai-Sis, I agree they are only human beings but it's the church teachings sometimes that makes people judgemental to every one of us. well, they made their choice and i hope things will go for them if they chose a marital life. i agree we can all serve god and if you don't want to be a priest or nun, then so be it

I think they should marry each other, if we talk about the rules and regulations then is there any such rule that a priest can not marry and if they marry will they be caught by the police?
If there is such rule then it is not good. In my country there is no such rule. It is your own wish if you want the marriage or not.

Why they are not allowing priest and nuns to marry anyway?I think you can still serve God even you're married.I think it's just the Roman Catholic who is practicing celibacy for those serving the church.Other Christian faith and most catholic hurches allow their priest to marry.There are even rumors that Mary Magdalene is actually the wife of Jesus; what's the point of practicing celibacy which just turns out hypocrisy,because several of them are living secret lives.

Hello Karee, as a catholic I don't believe that because there won't be any miracles if such information was true. That was just something that dan brown put up in his novel. besides, people can serve god in many ways and it doesn't have to be in the church all the time, some people like my mom go into religious organizations.

This shows love is blind and when one really fall in love and love each other from the depth of their heart they can take any drastic step to spend the life with each other company. All the best and happy married life to priest and nun

Though the number of people who serve God is now declining very fast, I cannot blame people who leave the religious life for the common folk life. Religious life is very demanding and some people aren't really the material for that kind of long and lifetime service.
It's funny because it was somewhat tradition in our history that families will dedicate one of their numerous children to God as part of giving thanks or to bestow grace. Now seminarians are getting out of their seminaries because they have their own reasons.
I just means that the religious are still people - even though they served God and could probably do it in another way. For me, it's better than living in regret, wonder and misery of doing something and being coward of not making the choice. I'm sure God does understand, I don't know if God's representative on Earth and the institutional that it represents can.

see what i mean last month's discussion?
Although i am not a fortune teller but my predictions are happening again...
what i stated before is "expecting that another similar problems exist for the priest sooner or later"
but what happen is "Sooner"
another news from the "next to God" servants...
thank God because they are only a priest and a nun, (whatever scan doll) they do, people's lives are not in danger...
how about if a ship or vessel captain done wrong decisions, judging wrong to which course the ship may turn as collision happens due to human (captain's error) error....
many will die in vain, many cargo will loose, two vessels will sunk under the depths of ocean....
