Abolish Celibacy! Cardinal Marx Whines to the Oligarchs for Caresses

Munich's Cardinal Marx called for the abolition of celibacy: "For some priests, it would be better if they were married," he tried to please Sueddeutsche.de ( February 2).
Things cannot go on as they are now, he experienced a moment of truth. He called the priestly way of life "precarious." Marx tells young priests again and again that "living alone is not easy." German priests are "alone" because their parishes are dead and faithless and dead structures are kept artificially alive with church tax money.
Marx added that some may say that "if we no longer have compulsory celibacy, everyone will get married." His answer: "If everyone marries, that would be all the more a sign that it doesn't work well the way it is now." It escapes him that, after a short time, most priests would be divorced or busy with their second or third wife.
Marx is under massive pressure from the oligarch media because the abuse report he wanted also accuses him. Perhaps to escape this pressure, immediately after …More

I think he should be frightened. Has he never read Scripture?

It is known that during the times of the Old Testament (during the period of the Levitical Priesthood) that there were so many Priests that each Priest was called on a rota to perform his Sacred functions. Each Priest was only called to Minister before the Lord in the Temple for a short period every 2 years.
Due to the brevity of their Priestly Service it was permitted for the Old Covenant Priests to be married. However, it is well attested that when a Priest's time to serve in the Temple arrived, he would live in the Priestly Lodgings in the Temple apart from his wife. As can be seen in St Luke's Gospel, Ch 1, where St John the Baptist's Father, Zachariah, was serving in the Temple and living APART FROM HIS WIFE at the time when he received the promise from Our Lord that his wife St. Elizabeth would bear him a son.
The text says....

"And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

Douay-Rheims Bible, Luke Chapter 1

When the Old Covenant Priesthood came to an end. It was necessary for Priests to serve before the Lord every single moment of every single day, not just once every couple of years and THAT is why Priests are not permitted to ever marry. It has never been permitted for a Priest ministering before the Lord to have sexual relations.

In Numbers 12 - Our Lord requests that Moses live apart from his wife before he is due to appear in the Presence of the Lord

Then again in Exodus 19:15 Our Lord commands ALL of the Children of Israel to "restrain from sexual relations" when they are about to be in the Presence of the Lord

Just in case the Cardinal views Christ as being totally separate from the God of the Old Testament, I suggest he reads these and studies the origins of the Faith he purports to belong to. I put it to the "Cardinal" that as evil as he is, Satan is very scared of Christ and when reprimanded by God, is forced to obey Him - so, why isn't Cardinal Marx more frightened of earning Our Lord's displeasure?

Cardinal Marx should aspire higher.....See this, (in the original Translation of Apoc 14 - the reward for a life spent in Priestly Celibacy.

[3] And they sung as it were a new canticle, before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the ancients; and no man could say the canticle, but those hundred and forty-four thousand, who were purchased from the earth. [4] These are they who were not defiled with women: for they are virgins. These follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb: [5] And in their mouth there was found no lie; for they are without spot before the throne of God.
Douay-Rheims Bible, Apocalypse (Revelation) Chapter 14

Apoc/Rev 14 stresses the exclusive reward obtained for those who's lives are spent in Consecrated Priestly Celibacy - those who shun sexual liaisons aiming to attain the same purity as Christ.

Amazon Synod: Our Lady Told Saint Bridget
That A Pope Who Would Abolish Celibacy, Would Go to Hell.

Here is the quotation.
It can be found in Book 7 Chapter X of her Revelations
"Know this too: that if some Pope concedes to Priests a license to contract carnal marriage, God will condemn him to a sentence as great, in a spiritual way, as that which the law justly inflicts in a corporeal way on a man who has transgressed so gravely that he must have his eyes gouged out, his tongue and lips, nose …More

"Know this too: that if some Pope concedes to Priests a license to contract carnal marriage, God will condemn him to a sentence as great, in a spiritual way, as that which the law justly inflicts in a corporeal way on a man who has transgressed so gravely that he must have his eyes gouged out, his tongue and lips, nose and ears cut off, his hands and feet amputated, all his body's blood spilled out to grow completely cold, and finally, his whole bloodless corpse cast out to be devoured by dogs and other wild beasts. Similar things would truly happen in a spiritual way to that pope who were to go against the aforementioned preordinance and will of God and concede to priests such a license to contract marriage.

For that same Pope would be totally deprived by God of his spiritual sight and hearing, and of his spiritual words and deeds. All his spiritual wisdom would grow completely cold; and finally, after his death, his soul would be cast out to be tortured eternally in hell so that there it might become the food of demons everlastingly and without end. Yes, even if Saint Gregory the Pope had made this statute, in the aforesaid sentence he would never have obtained mercy from God if he had not humbly revoked his statute before his death.”

I just watched the Pope's Mass for "Consecrated Religious" today 2-2-2022. Pope Francis looked terrible, and could hardly walk but a short distance. He sat down to give his homily....usually he stands at a lecturn like a Protestant pastor, but this time he sat in a papal chair at the altar like Benedict XVI or JPII would have done. His face seemed very haggard, and he had to reach for a MC's arm to …More

His face seemed very haggard, and he had to reach for a MC's arm to help him walk at the end. The RAI (Italian state tv) camera tried to avoid showing his fragility. Marx can plan his assinine synod all he likes, but I think Francis won't be around to see the end of either Marx's synod, or his own. Wonder if all those rumors are actually true? Francis doesn't look good at all.......and even looks like he's losing weight.

The problem is that, should Bergoglio die becore B16, any conclave would be illegal and the pope elected would be another antipope. May Mary Undoer of Knots sort this out.
Kenjiro M. Yoshimori
I never thought of that. But I would love to see Bergoglio die before Benedict XVI. It would be justice in a way, the heretic dies before the good man he and his people persecuted and forced to quit.

He doesn't need to be around for the results of the synod. He has the results already.They just have to go through the charade-process and add a date to the results.

Two reasons why this obese German wants this. One: married priests with families will bring in more money for the German Church. Two: He wants the German Church to be in communion with the Lutherans. Why? Money.
A guy named Marx obsessed with money. Fancy that.More

Hope we have a new Pope soon who won't tolerate people like Marx and his "Synodal Path", or any other radical liberals in the Vatican or elsewhere. Unfortunatly, he's a Benedict XVI cardinal. Benedict didn't know what he was doing appointing him, obviously.

I find it strange that everyone is assuming he means traditional, biblical marriage. I would bet the farm he is speaking of the modernist concept of para-amorism: one can "marry" anyone (or even anything) one pleases! Lord have mercy!
