I haven't read the bible , but from what I've heard [stand to be corrected] it doesn't state in the bible that men shouldn't be allowed to marry and that women cannot be ordained ........ if that being the case , then these are man made laws , so who will pick up the gauntlet to reform these rules , or is there even an appetite for it .

Originally posted by KatieMorag View Posti think they had married priests in the very early church and i've heard that there are married priests in south america where they turn a blind eye. also there are many ex-anglican priests that were already married when they switched "sides". we had one in our church for a while.

no idea tb......i did used to think it was very unfair in the bible when Jesus makes the disciples leave everything behind them to go and spread the word........did they ever see their families again, or was that it? so maybe it's to do with them devoting all their time to god and their flock and they found they couldn't do that with the demands of a family so they brought in celibacy. or maybe they were just nutters.
