And almost none of it is about the charges of widespread clerical abuse scandals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable-p-2 p-text\">Dozens of commentators and Vatican watchers have pointed to the wide gap between the views of conservative, traditional Catholics in the mold of Pope Benedict XVI, Francis\u2019 predecessor, and those of reform-minded Catholics like Pope Francis. Many media have referred to what is happening as a kind of \u201ccivil war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">Though he is widely popular among non-Catholics, Francis has been a polarizing figure among the faithful since he was first elected five years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">The latest sex abuse allegations, specifically those raised by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigan\u00f2, former nuncio to the United States, have only increased public pressure on Francis to resign in order to save the church. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">Robert Mickens, a veteran Vatican analyst who is now the editor of La Croix International, said the sex abuse scandal masks a rift in the church about its direction under the current pope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">\u201cThe trouble calling what is happening with these scandals and the church a \u2018civil war\u2019 is that these two camps have existed since the start of Francis\u2019 papacy, plus the fact that the situation has very little to do the sex scandals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Church of Rome has long had problems with sexual abuse by its clergy. But some see what has been alleged in the last month or so as an opportunity to try to pressure Pope Francis to resign. Here is a link for those who would like to see additional information on the letter asking the pontiff to resign: <a title=\"\u2018Former Vatican official calls for Pope\u2019s resignation amid sex abuse scandal\u2019\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/religious-news\/former-vatican-official-calls-for-popes-resignation-amid-sex-abuse-scandal\/\"> <span class=\"post_title\">\u2018Former Vatican official calls for Pope\u2019s resignation amid sex abuse scandal\u2019<\/span><\/a>. We will see what the pontiff does.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to properly investigating and punishing the perpetrators, the Vatican should more seriously consider what the Bible teaches (with a Catholic and Protestant translation shown below):<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"reg\"><span class=\"reftext\">9 <\/span>Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, <span class=\"reftext\">10 <\/span>Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.

Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, <span class=\"reftext\">10 <\/span>nor thieves, nor coveters, not drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit <i>the<\/i> kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, BLB)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Tolerance for homosexual and other abusive priests has been occurring in the Church of Rome for years.<\/p>\n<p>It is at least partially because of Rome&#8217;s unbiblical celibacy requirements that Rome has ended up with homosexual and other sexually immoral priests that have victimized so many over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Even Roman Catholic approved translations of the Bible show that bishops\/pastors and presbyters\/elders were supposed to have a wife and children. This was partially to demonstrate they could handle a church as Paul wrote per the <a href=\"\/catholic.htm\">Roman Catholic<\/a> approved <em>Rheims<\/em> New Testament:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1. FAITHFUL saying. If a man desire a Bishops office, he desireth a good work.<br \/>\n2. It behoveth therefore a Bishop to be irreprehensible, the husband of one wife,<br \/>\nsober, wise, comely, chaste, a man of hospitality, a teacher,<br \/>\n3. Not given to wine, no fighter, but modest, no quarreler, not covetous,<br \/>\n4. Well ruling his own house, chaving his children subject with all charity.<br \/>\n5. But if a man know not to rule his own house: how shall he have care of the Church of<br \/>\nGod? (1 Timothy 3:1-5).<\/p>\n<p>5. For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest reform the things that are<br \/>\nwanting, and shouldst ordain priests by cities, as I also appointed thee:<br \/>\n6. If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not in the<br \/>\naccusations of riot, or not obedient.<br \/>\n7. For a Bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not angry, nor<br \/>\ngiven to wine, no striker, nor covetous of filthy lucre (Titus 1:5-7).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Note that the term translated as priest in verse 4, presbyter, simply means elder. Also notice that the Bishop is also allowed to be married. In <a href=\"\/orthodox.htm\">Eastern Orthodox<\/a> circles, while their priests are allowed to be married, their bishops are not (so men who become Orthodox bishops put away their wives and betray their marriage covenants&#8211;cf. Malachi 2:13-16; see also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/celibacy.htm\">Was Celibacy Required for Early Bishops or Presbyters?<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Consider that the covetous are not to become bishops.<\/p>\n<p>Consider also that even <em>The Catholic Encyclopedia<\/em> acknowledges that from the beginning, celibacy was not a requirement for church leaders:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Turning now to the historical development of the present law of celibacy, we must necessarily begin with St. Paul&#8217;s direction (1 Timothy 3:2, 12, and Titus 1:6) that a bishop or a deacon should be &#8220;the husband of one wife&#8221;. These passages seem fatal to any contention that celibacy was made obligatory upon the clergy from the beginning (Thurston H. Transcribed by Christine J. Murray. Celibacy of the Clergy. The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume III. Copyright \u00a9 1908 by Robert Appleton Company. Online Edition Copyright \u00a9 2003 by K. Knight. Nihil Obstat, November 1, 1908. Remy Lafort, S.T.D., Censor. Imprimatur. +John Cardinal Farley, Archbishop of New York).<\/p>\n<p>Celibacy became an ideal for the clergy in the East gradually, as it did in the West. In the fourth century we still find St. Gregory Nazianzen&#8217;s father, who was Bishop of Nanzianzos, living with his wife, without scandal. But very soon after that the present Eastern rule obtained. It is less strict than in the West. No one can marry after he has been ordained priest (Paphnutius at the first Council of Nicaea maintains this; the first Canon of the Synod of Neocaesarea in 314 or 325, and Can. Apost., xxvi. The Synod of Elvira about 300 had decreed absolute celibacy for all clerks in the West, Can. xxxiii, ib., pp. 238-239); priests already married may keep their wives (the same law applied to deacons and subdeacons: Can. vi of the Synod in Trullo, 692), but bishops must be celibate. As nearly all secular priests were married this meant that, as a general rule, bishops were chosen from the monasteries, and so these became, as they still are, the road through advancement may be attained (Fortesque A. Transcribed by Marie Jutras. Eastern Monasticism. The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume X. Copyright \u00a9 1911 by Robert Appleton Company. Online Edition Copyright \u00a9 2003 by K. Knight. Nihil Obstat, October 1, 1911. Remy Lafort, S.T.D., Censor. Imprimatur. +John Cardinal Farley, Archbishop of New York).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thus, the celibacy requirement for clergy did not occur until the fourth century&#8211;and many did not abide by it for centuries in various areas. Furthermore, a requirement for clerical celibacy contradicts the biblical teaching on this matter.<\/p>\n<p>When the subject came up in the fourth century, a Greco-Roman bishop denounced it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Paphnutius then was bishop of one of the cities in Upper Thebes: he was a man of such eminent piety, that extraordinary miraclas were done by him. In the time of the persecution he had been deprived of one of his eyes. The emperor honoured this man exceedingly, and often sent for him to the palace, and kissed the part where the eye had been torn out. So devout was the emperor Constantine. Having noticed this circumstance respecting Paphnutius, I shall explain. another thing which was wisely ordered in consequence of his advice, both for the good of the church and the honour of the clergy. It seemed fit to the bishops to introduce a new law into the church, that those who were in holy orders, I speak of bishops, presbyters, and deacons, should have no conjugal intercourse with the wives which they had married prior to their ordination. And when it was proposed to deliberate on this matter, <strong>Paphnutius having arisen in the midst of the assembly of bishops, earnestly entreated them not to impose so heavy a yoke on the ministers of religion: asserting that &#8221; marriage is honourable among all, and the nuptial bed undefiled<\/strong>;&#8221; so that they ought not to injure the church by too stringent restrictions. &#8221; For all men,&#8221; said he, &#8221; cannot bear the practice of rigid continence ; neither perhaps would the chastity of each of their wives be preserved.&#8221; He termed the intercourse of a man with his lawful wife chastity. It would be sufficient, he thought, that such as had previously entered on their sacred calling should abjure matrimony, according to the ancient tradition of the church: but that none should be separated from her to whom, while yet unordained, he had been legally united&#8230;<strong>The whole assembly of the clergy assented to the reasoning of <!--k36--> Paphnutiu<\/strong>s <!--k31--> (Socrates Scholasticus. Book 1, Chapter XI. A History of the Church in Seven Books: From the Accession of Constantine, A.D. 305, to the 38th Year of Theodosius II, Inluding a Period of 140 Years. Published by S. Bagster, 1844. Original from Harvard University, pp. 53-54)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So as late as the early fourth century, the idea of required celibacy was opposed by most of the clergy.<\/p>\n<p>I have believed that celibacy requirements could be loosened because it is a major goal of the Vatican to have the Eastern Orthodox, and as many of the Protestants as possible, unify with Rome. Although both biblical and certain Catholic prophecies warn against this unity, they both indicate that an ecumenical religion will be adopted by nearly all the world. And, based upon my understanding of biblical and Catholic prophecies, I believe that this will be a religion that calls itself &#8220;Catholic&#8221; but which changes many doctrines. And celibacy may be one of them. Especially, since the celibacy requirement was waived for the Anglicans in 2009 who wanted to become part of the Church of Rome (see <a title=\"Some Anglicans Starting to Accept Pope\u2019s Offer of Unification\" href=\"\/news\/religious-news\/some-anglicans-starting-to-accept-popes-offer-of-unification\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Some Anglicans Starting to Accept Pope\u2019s Offer of Unification<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Now, around the time Pope Francis called for the conference with bishops, he made another declaration. The following is from <em>Zenit<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAll of us Christians are invited to accept in the Name of Mary, the great plan that God had for this sublime creature and, at the same time, the response of love that, as Mother, she gave to her Son Jesus, collaborating unstintingly in His work of salvation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the history of the world, the fate, the hopes and tears of so many people were interwoven with her Name. Today she unites again in prayer the millions of hearts that render her homage, imploring her intercession, her aid and her help,\u201d he said to the Polish pilgrims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMay the Virgin Mary defend the Faith and the Church in dangers. On venerating Mary\u2019s Name, we thank her for her presence in the life of the Church and of each one of us,\u201d he said. 09\/12\/18 <a href=\"https:\/\/zenit.org\/articles\/to-protect-against-dangers-holy-name-of-mary\/\">https:\/\/zenit.org\/articles\/to-protect-against-dangers-holy-name-of-mary\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Appealing to &#8216;Mary&#8217; is not how to solve the problems facing the Church of Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, while Jesus&#8217; mother was Mary, she is otherwise NOT intertwined in salvation. Jesus is savior and protector, not Mary.
