    That would be an ecumenical matter.

    I have an uncle who used to be a priest, was found out for having sex with a woman and had to leave the church.

    Priests who had sex with children were protected by the church.

    Go figure.

    Women are evil.

    Children aren't.

    That's how the church sees it.

    So when you think about it that way your uncle was having sex with the devil.

    Theoretically, a Catholic priest would never experience an orgasm. (consciously anyway)

    It seems so weird and fúcked up when you think about it.

    The "No Dan Brown books" should be included with the other perks rather than the requirements.

    Don't forget the free limo and the colourful uniform with matching accessories.

    Theoretically they could have had sex before being a priest...but logistically I'm sure most of them beat their meat just like the rest of us

    Is there anything to stop someone working as a priest for, say, 20 years and during that twenty years save like mad and once 20 yrs have passed just quit the priesthood with all the savings, find himself a piece of skirt, move abroad or to another part of Ireland and set up a business, invest in property etc. ?

    Sexual frustration?

    Sexual frustration would be bad at least you could knock a few out behind closed doors.

    And yes your best years would be behind you but you would still have some good years left. What is the youngest age a priest can qualify/get ordained whatever the hell they do?

    No pain, no gain.

    Well, I suppose they could get married and have sex. Then if their wife died they could become a priest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,476 ✭✭✭Mr.Lizard


    Why are priests not allowed to have sex again? Sorry I wasn't paying attention at mass or in religion class well .... ever tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,510 ✭✭✭Jigsaw


    Does buggery count as sex?

    Yes, they are allowed, in fact that's what was supposed to be done because there are 7 holy sacraments. Baptism, Reconciliation, Communion, Confirmation, Matrimony, Holy Orders, Annoiting of the Sick.


    The only way to carry out all 7 is to perform Holy Orders before you get married, since you are not allowed to get Married while you are a priest, you must leave the priesthood to do so!


    I actually know a former Priest, now Physics teacher, who is Married to a Friend of Mines mother. I know a man who left the seminary with only a few month's to go. And I have a friend who is Currently studying to be a priest.


    I am an athiest who will argue my point so it makes for some interesting discussions with the last fella!!!
