@@sandraschneider8438 This occurred in the mid 70's. This conversation was brought about because my mother and I had a difference of opinion on the 12 apostles. Some of them were married with children. I told her that Christ would not have had the apostles leave their families to poverty to follow Christ, but to go home to also support his family. This led to the following discussion. I knew a nun, Sister Katherine in USA, who was later trained in Canada, to help with catholic marriage annulments tell me this fact. She was allowed church papers to read that were held from public. A very long time ago, priests in Europe were allowed to marry. Why was the policy get changed to this celibacy life? She told me because if the priest died, the church had to deal with the priest's wife and children still living in the rectory. The Catholic Church did not want to financially support them, but it was difficult to throw them out and make them homeless in the eyes of the public. So the Catholic Church then started to outlaw priest marriage to bypass the problem.

My Grandfather at the age of five was put in a Catholic orphanage by his Aunts after the death of his parents. He was schooled to become a Priest. He ran away when he was fifteen. He told me that most of the children there were fathered by priests and the pregnant Nuns were also there. Hidden from the outside and taking care of the babies. The things he learned there turned him against the Catholic religion and even more so as he grew older and studied the King James Bible. He had a close relationship with the Lord and was extremely knowledgeable of the Word. Grandma was the kindest person I have ever met and you could tell just being around her that she was filled with the Holy Spirit. I am very blessed to have had them in my life and to be shown how a child of God lives.

I feel this post was not about assigning blame to either party for the creation of the child. The point was that when the priests broke their vow of chastity (a vow which the mother did not make, btw, regardless of whether or not she knew the mans occupation), he did not confess his sins and acknowledge and accept his offspring. Plenty of men have gotten women pregnant after one time, or by accident, or with someone not quite ideal, and yet still stepped up to the challenge of fatherhood. The shame these poor people feel would have been far less if they were not “dirty little secrets”. Rarely do the sins of our parents, before they were our parents, fill us with shame. Had these men stepped up and helped raise their offspring, had they acknowledged their part and swallowed their pride and did the right thing, I doubt there would be so much pain. Drama and gossip, yes, but not pain. Shame indeed.

The whole issue of celibacy wasn’t about priests living and focusing solely on spiritual matters. It was all about money and control. It’s cheaper to support one guy who only has the church, than to support one guy and his family where his loyalties may be divided between his family and the church. It was a ruthless and cruel decision that has hurt countless people for centuries. I believe it was also one of the main reasons for the Reformation by Martin Luther in his opposition to the Catholic Church. He was a monk himself, but married a nun who believed the way he did.

The vow of celibacy is not forced on anybody. Although it remains essential to the identity of the priest and is intimately linked to his ordination. The idea behind it is and always was spiritual, and I think history has shown that there is a special value to celibate life offered and lived in total service and dedication to God.

I'm glad that marriage for priests is allowed in Orthodoxy, it allows priests to have a healthy family life whilst fulfilling their vocation.

@qwertyu3377

4 ай бұрын

In Orthodoxy, a priest can have one wife only. If she passes away, he can't marry another time. He must remain a widower or become a monk. If an orthodox priest wants to divorce his wife, he can't remain a priest any more. A priest can get a parish only if he is married. So, the question of marriage is of greatest importance for young graduators.

I would have thought it wasn’t about “congratulations you’re a father and you’re fired” but that the priests were in positions of power when they fathered children. That is a crime! If it was a true attraction then give up priesthood and marry the woman. No guilt should be on mother or child but on priest.

If 10,000 have come forward, you can only imagine the 100’s of thousands who never came forward, and even more, those who never knew, ended up in orphanages and foster care.

My great grandmother became pregnant by a priest in Turin, Italy. The Church promptly removed the priest and sent him to another province. This poor teenager was sent away as far as her family could to Calabria at the very bottom of Italy. I don't know where she lived but when my grandmother was born she was an outcast because she was illegitimate. She had no friends and could not go to school. When she was a teen, I don't know how she did it but got a boat to Ellis Island. Some years later she emigrated to Canada. These were the two bravest women I ever knew of. Unfortunately, I never got all the information from my Grandmother because she never learned English. My Mom died young and I never got anything from her. Priests should be held responsible. A man who can't be celibate shouldn't be a priest.

It is now 2021. There are many people who want to keep things hidden, but I applaud the worldwide movement toward accountability for one's actions, the telling of the truth, whatever it may be. These poor people carried the weight of their parents' misconduct, and they did not deserve to carry the burden of silence to protect the good name of someone who didn't deserve it. The MeToo era may be one of the best things that ever has come about.

This brought back bad memories to me. In the late 1980s, I got pregnant at 16 to a guy who's parents were strict Catholics. They tried to have me put into a place called St Josephs which was run by nuns to hide my pregnancy as they wanted know one to know that their son had sinned (had sex out of wedlock). I know they planned to try to force me to have my baby adopted out. I threatened to run away as soon as they took me to that place and fortunately being as headstrong as I was I just would not allow them to dictate what would happen to me like that and I ended up keeping the baby

Why a church would disallow the most holy, beautiful, and rewarding experience in life, that of being a parent, is ridiculous, unnatural, and unhealthy. God places such importance on families that to deny that blessing to priests is quite unholy. The Catholic church MUST allow their priests and nuns to marry. Moreover, children DESERVE to be loved and raised by loving parents, so if the priests father a child they need to be accountable for their indiscretion and help take care of the child.

I agree. But if they allow priests to marry AND keep their current nonsense about not allowing birth control, they’re going to have married priests with huge families which is definitely something the church doesn’t want to face or pay for. Right now, a parish priest is paid about $25,000 a year which also includes a house for him to live in. (My priest used to make extra money by giving tours of the Holy Land.) If he was married and had a kid every other year, he wouldn’t possibly be able to survive on $25,000 a year. Also, there’s absolutely no way his wife would be able to have a career of her own if she’s constantly pregnant and dealing with newborn issues. For the church to FINALLY admit they need married priests, they need to allow birth control and much higher wages. They also need to recall that Peter (The Rock - the foundation of the Catholic faith and the first pope) was married. Back in the day, celibacy wasn’t enforced. Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia) had three illegitimate children he claimed. Many parish priests had “house keepers” with children that looked very much like the priest. 😉

The Catholic church is a very large church covering many countries and cultures. It has never been dogma that priests must be celibate. Dogma is the absolute basics of the faith that you will find in the Nicene Creed. Even now it is a case of church discipline. So the ancient church for the first 1,000 years when it was one (before the split between the Catholic and Orthodox) had two languages used in liturgy, Latin and Greek. The eastern parts of the church used Greek and the western Latin. Both Latin (Rome) and Greek (Constantinople/Byzantine) churches had married priests. When the church split, between the West and East, most of the western church used Latin, but some still used Greek in their liturgy. Eventually the western church decided as a matter of discipline that its priests would be celibate but there has always been exceptions for those churches with Eastern rite traditions. Even now, the Pope can waive a man's requirement to be celibate and will allow the ordination of married men. Many Anglican and Episcopalian ministers that converted, were married and were ordained Catholic priests were given a dispensation. They can only be married once. I believe in the Orthodox church only celibate priests can become bishops.

Is it normal to be celibate? Then why make it a prerequisite

Years ago (I think it was in about the 70’s) I read an article about a lady who had several children with a priest. He finally broke off the relationship and the church moved him. Whenever she would find him and try to get child support from him, the church moved him again. (I would sincerely like to know how dad not caring enough about them to lend to their support affected those children.) I’m a Catholic and there are very personal reasons while I stay a Catholics but I think that if the church wants to be relevant, they need to come kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

The Catholic church has, in my opinion, done more harm than good over its history. So many children have been harmed by it, and yet they still drag their feet when it's pointed out that they need to help those they've harmed. They're far more concerned for their positions, than they are about doing anything about the problems they've caused.

Priests are human. The ancient church started with marriage clergy and even popes. Unrealistic standards were set up for future priests. Jesus selected many married apostles. I too am Catholic and this needs to change for those who can’t be celebrate.

As a child raised without my dad, I know how hard it is to want to know your biological. Also it is easy to exonerate him even as a hero. I finally had contact with my dad later in life and I was able to meet him as an adult; two adults meeting for the first time. So, this story is interesting and a bit confusing because of some of the reactions to the news. As an example, how is Linda’s realization of learning of her dad is really her adopted father, and this is called “devastating?” I think her adopted dad was wonderful in adopting her as his own. Look at her biological father. That is the devastation. He was a trusted man. Watching her radiate as she says he was a “charmer” is very sad, in my opinion. This is an example of making her father a type of hero. But in all honesty, he sounds more like a predator. He had sex with a girl twenty years his junior…and he was a priest. That doesn’t sound like charm to me. This was a bit confusing to see. Much respect to the Irish bishops, however. I lived in Dublin years ago and I am glad they are at least acknowledging this issue, although on a small scale. And Linda really exposed the true nature of this issue: secrets and lies birth shame. And shame is the debilitating reality attached to children with absentee fathers, especially when those fathers are esteemed as godly men. Ugh! Horrible!

AGREE ...

I’d be damned if I would keep it secret.

I fell in love with a deacon who was about to be ordained as a priest. We ended things before the special day. I’m happy for him and he remains true to his ordination vow to this day and for his entire lifetime. Love is love. We acknowledged it. His life is meant for service to God and his people. He is happy for me and we pray for each other. Initially joked that he inseminate me so we can have an offspring together and I don’t mind I’ll be raising the baby by myself however we come to our senses and don’t want the baby to suffer in the future.

The reason church's initiated these celibacy rules was so they didn't have to fund families and when the priests died , his property/funds which would typically go to families, now stays within the church.

😍😍😍😋😋😋 I must confess i have my eyes set on a really dashy priest .. Sweet baby Jesus this priest is among the sexiest 😆😆 i have seen and you would agree .. The flesh is weak .. i read that somewhere but the torment of seducing a dashy priest I wouldn't wish on the devil himself .. Attending mass where only fantasies keep playing .. having communion while trying to have a sniff of how he smells .. Going to confession just to hear his voice 😇😇😇 😂😂😂😂 We don't live in a perfect world good men are locked up without regard of a woman like me 😎😎 Pray for me 😜😜😜 and the dashy priest 😇😇😇 that we happily elope to live somewhere where the church won't find us and have lots of kids 😶😶😶

God himself said:. " Isn't good for man to stay alone." Man is not meant to stay in celibacy. That contradicts their human nature. Celibacy is a rare gift not granted to people simply because they feel they want to serve God. The church stubeeness is the cause of all these problem.

Just a question, why Not say: THAT YOUR FAITH IN GOD REMAINS? Why is your faith in a denomination? Why is your faith in a man made religion? Being catholic is nothing to be "proud" about, and I do Not say this in bitterness. Either way, it is ESSENTIAL to Separate GOD AND ONE'S PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, MADE POSSIBLE ONLY THROUGH THE ALL SUFFICIENT BLOOD OF JESUS- From any religious organization. Take Care.🌹🌺🌻🌹

Just remember the reason for Catholic priests being celibate has never been about religion, rather it is about money. If a priest has children, then the children inherit the money and possessions of the priest when they die, not the church. And the Priest will spend money on the children and not give it to the Church. The Catholic church has always been about money.

100%. Also, in olden times, it was so they could freely travel or be sent kn missions without attachments. But yes.. the first one!! There was never any celibacy expectation, just no financial obligation as you said.

All that is hidden will be revealed, for the light shall reveal it..

You can still be a great priest and an amazing father. This is sad to be honest both the children and the priests are victims of the doctrines of the Catholic Church.

It’s sad that many had to go through this encounter but now not just Catholic Churches but many denominations of faith there are Secrets. Most people feel shamed but now many preach and have many children in different states. They don’t Financially take care of their kids. Very sad and Painful When a Father disown their Children. How can say you doing the service on to God and he neglected his little ones

Congratulations Linda on finally finding out about your father. In justice, IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD! After all you have done nothing shameful or wrong. All the best to & for you - hug.

So the cardinal talk to him that he can serve God by taking good care of his kids and volunteer ministry. Because priest are married to the church and the members are his children. So if you have another family while using the ring given to you upon ordination is concubinage.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

When I was a young girl in Brooklyn, we attended a Catholic church. There were always young women chatting it up with one particular handsome young priest. Rumors were that he fathered several children, with various women. He was sent away from the church and we never saw him again. The rumors were just rumors, but I can believe maybe they were true. I never saw the women around after the priest was no longer at the church.

What's in the dark always comes to light. The Lord is my witness. He saw what happened to me - I knew God was with me when I was a little girl. Using religion, and positions of power to abuse children is a direct crime against God Almighty. I know for a fact that none of them will get away with it. I used to hide on the roof, at the Catholic school/church I went to and sit with the pigeons alone. The pigeons befriended me and talked to me - We looked down on the playground together from the roof, the pigeons and I, watching the Nun's and their mean looking faces. They used to make me hold my hands out and hit me with rose bush thorns until my hands were bleeding - I would look up at the roof and could see my pigeons watching and witnessing the abuse, I knew them all by the way they looked and the way they sounded, they were all different. I knew that they were all witnesses, sent by God and when they flew away they were flying to God's house and reporting everything they witnessed. I recently discovered a video about Tesla - when he lived in a hotel in New York and befriended the pigeons. His telephone lines in the hotel were tapped by the F.B.I. so he used the pigeons as his messengers ... The Lord is my witness and the pigeons were my messengers - so fear not - they will all be held accountable, judged by God Almighty and will pay for their "secret" crimes!!!

Catholic priest should be open, Honest and Truthful

I read the book about this several years ago about how certain nuns in certain dioceses were raped and tortured! I don't remember the name of the book unfortunately. It told of how she escaped. These priests need to go to prison for what they did. It takes great courage to go against the Catholic church!!! They have power that they can use against the individual.

The woman wasn't ashamed of the fact that her father was a priest. She even took an action to "get back" his father. But her life went down when her father rejected her.

A priest from my mom's church and catholic school got a secretary pregnant the story was it wasn't his, but he paid for her condo in another state and visited every month and paid for her son's college education. He said he was just taking care of his friend, but everyone pretty much knew what the real story was.
