the coolest and most beautiful part of the Latin Rite (of which there are many) is the celibate priesthood

That is actually one of the weird cringe innovations of the romans.

How can a man be trusted with the priesthood unless he has demonstrated faithfulness to his wife and family?

This was understood and expected even in the 2nd temple era.

Your argument fails on it’s face since both Our Lord and Saint Paul argue for the superiority of celibacy over marriage in the New Testament. It’s also just not true historically but that will take more unpacking which I will have to try to get to later this week when I’m done moving and have time to collect everything.

Ok but you’re still holding your average priest to a standard only two or three of the apostles held to

and higher standards are bad?

“Only two or three”

Most of the Apostles didn’t have family, and its likely that St. Peter was widowed well before Christ’s death andResurrection.

Not to mention in Matthew when Jesus is teaching about divorce, and the Apostles say “it is better not to marry then, if you can’t divorce your wife” and Jesus literally says “yes, people will choose not to marry for the sake of the Kingdom, and that’s a thing you should aspire to”.

So not only did Jesus not get married, He literally told His disciples not to.

March 25th is the Solemnity of the Annunciation. This nail set is to celebrate! It features roses, lilies, and a dove descending from the skies. We love Our Mother in this house. ☺️

Gröning proposed the idea for the film to the monks in 1984, but the Carthusians said they wanted time to think about it. They responded to him 16 years later to say they were willing to permit him to shoot the movie if he was still interested.

what is this even in regard to?

actually it’s probably just because I know I’m a woman and love my husband, and have morals beyond “but it feels good!!!!”

pharmaciacatholica:

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
