I need to sleep so I will look at it later.

@Deleted User Can you send the verses as a DM to me too?

For what purpose?

I want to read them

I won't be able to convince you. I'd be glad just to get you to go to *any* church

I'm not going to be convinced about the papacy but I want to see both sides

@Deleted User

Would you be less catholic if the church allowed priests to be married and gay priests?

@Thornberry married priests aren't a problem

Gay priests?

@Thornberry Married priests would solve the degeneracy problems inside the churches

Wasn't absolutely banned until like the 11th century

Banning degeneracy would solve the degeneracy problem

@Deleted User I'd like to think so as well

Orthodox bishops aren't married either

They should allow marriage though

Imo

Marriage should only be illegal for the ones that choose to live inside Monasteries that women aren't able to go

I *agree* with it in principle

But at this time we don't have the money

@Deleted User I'm going out, if you don't mind send the verses. I'll read them when I'm done with my studying

A priest is paid pathetically low salary, works six days per week

Lives at the Church

It's difficult to raise a family on that

It's not that the churches don't have money though, they do have a lot of them too

Is he really? I thought they got paid decently

My priest is paid something like $18,000 a year

I'll have to look it up

Runs two churches, alone

Plus going to the prison and the military base

He is the only priest we have for two parishes. Not a unique situation either

Up here anyways

I think in one diocese a priest got $250k worth of Reno done to his house and people freaked

Our priests start from 644 euros up to 2600 euros as an archbishop

Midwest has the highest salary in the US, around $29

@Deleted User a year?

@Thornberry Per month

Our bishops get the same pay
