BEGINNING APOLOGETICS 1

PURGATORY

Continued…

12. Why does the Catholic Church forbid its priests to

marry? Doesn't St. Paul call forbidding marriage a

"doctrine of devils" (1 Tim 4:1-3)?

The Catholic Church does not forbid marriage;

the Church upholds the great dignity of marriage. Mar-

riage is considered a holy sacrament that symbolizes the

union of Christ with His Church (Eph 5:21-33). The

Church only forbids marriage, as a matter of discipline,

to those men who choose to become priests. No one is

forced into the priesthood. Those who wish to become

priests are asked to renounce sex for the sake of the king-

dom of God. Remember, Jesus praises those who would

freely renounce sex for the kingdom of God (Mt 19:12).

St. Paul's denunciation of those who forbid mar-

riage applies to those who reject marriage entirely, as

though it were an evil in itself. St. Paul is warning

against a false spirituality which holds that any part of

God's good creation (including marriage) is evil (1 Tim

4:3-4).

St. Paul obviously is not condemning celibacy.

St. Paul was himself single (1 Cor 7:8), just as Jesus was.

St. Paul strongly recommends celibacy for those who

would devote themselves entirely to the ministry (1 Cor

7:32-35). Since St. Paul does not absolutely command

celibacy for all fulltime ministers, the Catholic Church

teaches the requirement of celibacy is a discipline, not a

doctrine. Thus, the Church allows certain exceptions to

this requirement: for example, married Anglican priests

who become Catholic can continue to be married even if

they become Catholic priests.

Ask Fundamentalists why they have so few, if

any, celibate ministers, especially since St. Paul encour-

ages it so strongly for full-time ministers of Christ.

13. Does it make any difference which Christian denom-

ination I join?

Although it is very clear in Scripture and early

Church history that Christ left only one Church, today

we have over 25,000 Christian denominations. Does it

matter which of these you join? It most certainly does! If

Christ founded only one Church, then all the other Chris-

tian churches were founded by men. Although they be-

lieve much that is true, and have many members who are

sincere Christians, we simply cannot choose any of them

over the Church founded by Christ.

Society” is an opportunity for
