I read the Bible and it shapes my view.

Of the 2 Billion Christians, 50% are Catholic and hold a Catholic interpretation of the Bible. That means there are 1 BILLION CHRISTIANS like you who think they understand what the Bible means, yet there are how many sects? 40,000+???

You all might want to get together and figure it out.

Why does your church forbid its priests to marry?

The church is the Bride. A priest who has a wife and family does not have time to do the work of the Priest. There is PLENTY to read about on this matter from a Catholic viewpoint. If you're interested, you can look it up. You aren't going to convince me or anyone here. I used to be just like you a few years ago.

Just be logically consistent. Go take all your "gotcha" questions and look up the Catholic view point on that apologetic matter. You will get a clear explanation for all your questions.

Or better yet, take your questions to a Traditional Latin Mass Priest. He will catch you right up.
