DNO Poll Result: Catholic priests should be allowed to marry

The results of the poll

Of the 962 people who participated in a weeklong DNO poll on celibacy in the priesthood, a total of 750 said they believe Roman Catholic priests should be allowed to marry.

That’s 78 per cent of those polled.

Participants in the poll who want celibacy retained was 176, or 18 per cent, while there were 36 “don’t know” votes.

The issue of priests being celibate was mentioned recently by newly ordained Catholic deacon Branker John.

The new deacon who is on his way to the priesthood, said during an earlier period when he resided in Dominica he didn’t pay much attention to the call to religious life.

“I knew something was going on but I didn’t want to hear it … it meant I had to be celibate and I didn’t want to deal with that,” John explained.

The celibate aspect of the priesthood appears to have been a stumbling block for many a potential priest – some who say they considered that vocation just had great difficulty that they would have to abstain from sex for the rest of their lives.

More than three quarters of respondents to the DNO poll want the Roman Catholic Church to review that policy.

    I don’t understand why people talking about marriage, getting married and all that as if it is the highest form of human existence.

    If marriage is so glorious why is the divorce rate over 50 percent?

    If a person wants to be a priest, let him be….its his choice. No one force them with a gun to their heads.

      That is not the argument. Priests aren’t allowed to have sex at all. What is being said is that they should be able to have sexual relations with women. It just so happens that the church preaches sex only within marriage hence the emphasis on marriage.

    Its alledged that some priests have girlfriends while others molest young men, of course they should get married. they have feelings like every man. Marriages is sanctified by God why should man decide who can and cannot get married.

    Celibacy for priests is unnatural nonsense–nonsense, that is, if the priests do not want to be celibate. Humans are sexual animals. Those countless abuse cases in the church are largely due to this ridiculous doctrine–which is nowhere to be found in the bible. All they are doing is trying vaguely to imitate the supposed celibacy of Jesus. This is no good, and as long as it continues, abuse cases in the church will continue.

        They are unjust people and persecutors of the Catholic faith. Infidelity exists in their home which some are experiencing, yet they vent their frustrations and anger on the Catholic Church and the Priests. They do not want to hear the truth but they can make untrue statements against the Catholic Church in general. I also view them as wicked people. People are judged by their words.
        God knows who they are. He is patient. He will, one day, mete out his just recompense to them. They will not escape.
        Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “By your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned.” They will experience it in time.

      To Satan and yourself it is nonsense. However, Satan is smarter than you. He knows how much Our Lord Jesus Christ approves of the Priesthood and that He instituted it. Also how important the Priesthood is. You should have a talk with Satan. He will teach you much.
      This reminds me what St. Paul said to someone. “I will send you to Satan so that he will teach you how not to curse.” If we Catholics could, could send people as you to Satan for him to inform you about the Catholic Church and the Priesthood, we surely would.
      Satan was once a prominent angel in Heaven and he blew it through his disobedient ways. This is what many of you are, disobedient and stubborn people. He is helping you along in this disobedience.
      You do not have a say in the affairs of the Church. Therefore, stay away from commenting. Your views are also not important.
      What about the abuse of women, young and old and children by men and married men at? There are many more of those men who commit those crimes.

    Nowadays everyone has there own philosophy depending on what religion and denomination they have. This includes those who are not Christians and who have renounced their Catholic faith.
    It does not matter whether the majority says that Priests should marry. I am not swayed one bit. The only authority in this matter is the Hierarchy of the Catholic Church. The views of those others who say the Priests should marry are not important and do not count; worst yet in the eyes of God. They are without understanding. They lack godly enlightenment to comprehend why Priests are not allowed to marry. Those who are practicing Catholics of all are obligated to obey the teachings of the Church. As a holy person stated, “You cannot be a Catholic and disagree with the teachings of the Church” and say you are a Catholic”. You are a heretic.
    The Catholic Church has enemies specifically in these times of the Great Apostasy as God knows too well. These are they, who do not think beyond (they only think on the surface) and will also say that Priests should marry. Much more was stated about that.
    St. Paul said: “Obey authority” and “The religious teaching of the Church.” It is in the Holy Bible.
    I have stated this before, if Our Lord Jesus Christ approved of Priests marrying, rest assured that He would have said so. In the past He appeared to some holy people. His concern is to obey His teachings, live the faith to the fullest and persevere in the faith until the end of our lives so that we might obtain eternal salvation. Recall that He said love one another. If people truly love, they will leave the Catholic Church alone. God is taking note.
    Our Lord is with His Church and will always be with It until the end of time. He inspires those who are open to His blessing, graces, enlightenment and who at least do their utmost to live a godly life. This shows in their words, actions and lifestyle.
    These will object to Priests marrying and will oppose those who state that they should marry. You are thinking on worldly terms; not spiritual ones.
    When we die the truth of also this matter will be revealed to everyone. On that day, some people will be shocked that they renounced their Catholic faith, not practicing it, living a worldly life, amassing too much wealth and material possessions and seeking status to promote their agenda on a self-proclaimed pedestal. They will have a rude awakening to their eternal detriment where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. God knows the hypocrites. While they are busy minding the business of the Catholic Church, delving into Its religious practice and criticizing It, they are not even living a godly life. Nothing is hidden from God.
    If anyone of you are genuinely loving people you will leave the Catholic Church, Its practices and Priests alone and see about yours and your souls.
    A wise person stated, “I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this I believe-that unless I believe, I should not understand…”.
    The Catholic Church will not change to please Its enemies or their warped views. What has God got in common with His enemy and the enemies of Our Souls?
    Our Lord Jesus Christ is Its Foundation and will not forsake It. One day everyone will see and experience this, whether their souls go to Heaven or to Hell. Those who predeceased us already know it.

All your works, even behind closed doors are exposed naked to God. You cannot run away and hide. Therefore, once again I am saying, leave the Priests alone. Whatever needs rectifying in your life, do so. Mind your own business. See about your soul.

      John the Baptiste,

      Some of you are looking for trouble. Catholics have a right to stand up and defend their Church against Its enemies as you. It is not fair what you stated about the Catholic Church, one which you had worshiped in. Beware of stones that you throw. If I were you I would not use those words for what goes around comes around and two-fold. Your very words will one day haunt you forever. You will bite your tongue, fingers and eat them and your words. Saintly St. John the Baptist would never make such a statement. If he did, he would not be a saint today.
      You John Baptiste, I am a Dominican who has lived in Dominica. I know a lot of John Baptistes. There are many John Baptistes, men who had many, many children with different women while they also had wives. I bet that some of them did not financially support those children and nurtured them and did not teach them good examples in words and deeds. This may be the reason why you renounced your Catholic faith. The sins of the father follow their children. I heard down to the third generation, if not more. People as you who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
      You are no good christian. If you were, you would be a loving person and would have nothing derogatory to say against the Catholic Church for It has done you absolutely nothing. You are a blasphemer. God will punish you for that and sooner than you expect. Keep this in mind. If you have children you are also placing a curse on them as you do to yourself.
      You who were once a practicing Catholic may be a product of one of the many bastards your father had. Therefore, you are in no position to criticize the Catholic Church and say that it is a pagan church.
      Do you go to a church? If you do not, you have already lost your soul to Satan. If you go to one which sprouted up in recent years, you are not in the right church; Our Lord Jesus Christ did not establish it. Many of you are sadly lacking in knowledge of the truth and understanding. God has taken note of your words. Nothing is hidden from Him.
      You are so ignorant in the faith that you do not even know that once a baptized always a baptized Catholic Christian and no one on earth can rescind this baptism which God has blest when the Priest said, “I baptize you in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” This Catholic baptized mark will always be with you, whether in Heaven or in Hell. If you are smart you will know that God is always faithful and true to His promise and will never rescind this baptism. It is so sad that many of you allow yourselves to be falsely indoctrinated by false prophets of our time.
      JOHN BAPTISTE, THERE IS A GOOD REASON WHY I REMAIN A CATHOLIC AND AM PRACTICING MY FAITH AND I AM NOT SWAYED BY FALSE PROPHETS, people who are also less educated, etc. than I am. I am not one to follow such crowds.
      I have become an Advocate, a Defender of this Church that Our Lord established on earth. In these times where the Catholic Church has so many enemies as you, I have become an Advocate, a Defender of this Church that Our Lord established on earth. I know The Truth. I practice The Truth and I speak The Truth without watering it down but standing up for It. The Lord inspires He has helped me with my writing, to also speak up and to defend His Church. Praise be to The Blessed Trinity.

      Priests are needed. God will find a way to have Priests. The Catholic Church does not force them to be Priests or to remain Priests. They do so voluntarily. It is a godly, special Calling. The Catholic Church throughout the world, no exception in the U.S. and Canada continues to ordain Priests. God will never abandon His Church. That will be the day when there will be no Priests. Should this happen, consider that it will be in the time of the Antichrist and nearing the end of the world.
      God is above. He knows, sees and hears all things. He is taking note of everything. We better be careful what we say and ensure that what we state is godly for whatever we say, if it is good, it is written in the Book of Life. If it is bad, it is written in the Book of Damnation. This includes our actions.
      Our Lord said, “What comes out of the mouth comes from the heart and it defiles that person.”
      Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Vengeance is Mine! I will repay!” He said to a visionary, “I will find everyone where they are and mete out My just recompense to them as each one deserves.” This will be the Hand of Justice. Those words are to be taken seriously because they are The Words of the Lord. Thanks be to God!
      Therefore, those who keep saying that the Priests should be allowed to marry, my advice to them is to pray to God for His godly enlightenment. They are lacking it. Since God knows everyone and what is imbedded in their heart, He knows this much more than I do.

      @ Woodford Hill girl

      And what did you do about it? You must have found yourself in a position that this happened to you. Did the Priest call you? Whenever such occurs to a girl or woman, the best thing to do is to immediately get out of that situation. Did you not have the common sense to do so? Some of them enjoyed it. Some of them would pursue the Priests and today they are speaking ill of them. Some people are one-sided. Who really was guilty?
      Many married men and unmarried men did this to girls and woman and got them pregnant. Have you not read even on this Website what pastors have done?
      A few years ago, in Toronto, one of them who formed his church, murdered his wife. A few weeks ago the Police arrested him. They were conducting undercover investigation into her death. He is in prison. Obviously, the few people who were in his congregation are shocked. He was in love with his secretary.
      Therefore, why pick on the Priests and for something which occurred years ago? They are men, human being too and liable to the devil’s temptation. People are weak of spirit. Married men make marital vows and they did not fulfill their marital vows. There are many deceivers in the world. You should keep an open mind about that.
      Pray to God to release you of this hatred. No one can enter Heaven with dislike or hatred towards others.
      If they are wrong and did wrong, God will take care of them. Everyone has recourse to God. If they sincerely ask for repentance (God knows how sincere they are), He will forgive them. Everyone has to make penance and sacrifice. You are not an exception.
      You are also in no position to give advice to others. You are only a sinful human being. Therefore, keep your ungodly advice to yourself. You are being a bad influence. God punishes such people. It comes from the devil himself who influences you.

    Of course they should review..paul was able to abstain so he advise that if you are single you are better able to look for ways to please the Lord, but a man who is married will look at ways to please his wife. Now, if the priest is married he can easily get distracted i know, with family issues setting him back, his wife finding that he is giving all his time in church and she is neglected. wow i have seen that in pastors already too bz counselling other single women and they get hooked on phonics. woy! anyway is no joke this is serious so father whoever will have to really seek God on that note we. on the other hand some of the priest get involve with the same sex..look comess we..The best thing is father whoever will have see God on that. if he is serious God will take care of him and he will not be in any comess whether is with man or woman.

      The same pertains to married people. DNO should conduct a Poll about faithful and unfaithful married people. Maybe many of them should never be married for they did not live up to their marital vow and practiced infidelity. Similar to those fathers, some who had children out of wedlock who did not support their children.
      You people should have nothing to say against the Catholic Church and the Priests for you are by far, far from perfect more so in the eyes of God. Do you think that God will not punish you and that you will not pay the price?
      Be holy as your Lord is holy. Our Lord also said, “Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” IT IS IN THE BIBLE! This pertains to each and everyone one of us with no exception. Pull out the splinter in your eyes.

    Religion has so plagued us as a people that we can’t even use our creative minds to think. Ceibacy is such an unnatural thing for a man. A man’s sex organs are for a reason and not for the reason that religion has placed on mankind. All religion is man-made whether it’s christianity, islam,judaism, hinduism, buddhism,etc., Their origin is Eurocentric, and always looking for someone to deliver us. The creator did not give us a religion at the time of our birth. Religion was given to us by our parents who thought that this was the best thing for us. We were all born with our divine spirituality by our creator. We are spirit beings who need to find our divine purpose in life. Our ancient Egyptian ancestors did not have a religion. They were in tune with the universe, nature,and each other. Because of their divine nature and spirituality they were able to build the great pyramids, a replica of the universe, without modern technolgy. They operated at a very high level of consciousness and were one with their creator until the Europeans came along and disrupted their way of life. We got religion through the Europeans as a means to control us mentally so that we would not regain our divinity and spirituality as a people. We do not need religion which is the cause of all these divisions and wars in the earth. With all these religions are we better off as a prople?
    It is a waste of time for young strong black men to think of becoming celibate when it is against them biologically, physically,mentally and spirituality. In ancient Egyptian history, there was always a god,goddess and children. A man and woman are supposed to pro-create, that is, to bring forth life.
    We need to wake up as a people and regain our divine, spiritual consciousness and stop letting religion cloud our minds. We just believe in something that is so out of tough with reality and we don’t ask any questions or even use our imagination to think of what it is we truly believe in. Religion will and cannot save us as a prople. In fact, we have gotten worse.

      Are you without common sense? Without religion and practicing it to the fullest you will never enter God’s Kingdom. Take this and smoke it in your pipe, ignorant one. :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen:
      Read/study the Holy Bible. Learn what the Lord has taught us as contained in Holy Scriptures. He spoke about ‘being a Priest and remaining a Priest’ but some of you who think you are so smart interpret it to suit your mentality. You cannot comprehend Holy Scriptures. It is hidden from you because of the type of mind you possess.
      Our Lord left us a Church. It is the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Chhurch. Sadly, some have formed their own churches. They are the ones who confuse people as you and make such sill comments which are not of God but that of His enemy.
      A co-worker in Toronto once told me about herself, “I am an Anglican and I am confused.” I replied, “I am a Catholic and I am not confused.”
      Reason being, the amount of various religions/ churches, they are enough to confuse people who are tepid of faith and cradle religious people. This is why some go from church to church saying that they are trying to find God.
      God must laugh at them for if they are baptized, they have God in them and through their ignorance, they do not know it but they keep searching. These are confused people whose hearts are restless and not at peace. If they keep looking for Him in all different churches, they will never find Him. They are lost.

      You may not know the person who wrote the above sentence. This is why people as you should make it your business to read what is inspiring and uplifting and associate with likewise people. Otherwise your mind will remain stagnant. It will never be cultivated and you will always think and write what which makes no sense and is of no consequence to specifically the Catholic Church and Its teaching. Cease wasting your time for it does no good to anyone.

        Being catholic is a religion. You are so full of religion that you won’t be able to understand my comment. I was once a catholic and a christian and realised that these are just man-made religions that i do not need. That is what the Europeans have used to keep us blinded as a people. The creator did not give us a religion. We have been a spiritual people from birth. When the Europeans went to Africa, they used the bible to enslave our ancestors’ minds. We are still mentally enslaved to the point that we don’t even know our race as a people. There is one brother who said “if you take a European, Indian, Chinese and African and ask them their nationally, the European will say, I’m from Europe, the Indian will say I’m from India, the Chinese will say I’m from China, but the African will say, I’m a Christian.” That tells us that we have forgotten who we are as a race of people and have identified with the European’s god, a dead white man on a cross. We keep looking to the oppressor’s god, who cannot save us.
        I know that a lot of people will not take to my comments but it is time that weake up as a people.
        You need to study history to realize what has happened to us as a people. We need to let the religion go and be the spiritual people that we once were.
