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 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
Oh
That's really good tbh
I imagine cost of living is probably lower there
For Greece, 2600 is a dream like payment
The salary is basically tied to diocese based on cost of living
