It’s not an option. The Vatican will not allow it.

End Clerical Celibacy Now! - Part One

In this article and the ones following it, the discpline of clerical celibacy will be challenged. It is time, more than ever for the Church to allow for married men to become priests again.

The Hail Holy Queen​

Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to you we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

This is Paganism.

Praying to people is idolatry.


And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Matthew 6:7

Show me a scripture, not a scripture reference but a scripture where Christ or His apostles instructed us to build a massive Vatican in Rome and erect an obelisk in the courtyard.

the obelisk is just historical like the museums that have artifacts of many civilizations

rev 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

Satan has a headquarters "a seat" cathedral "chair"!

How deceitful to make such a preposterous unbiblical statement and tag it with a scripture reference knowing the actual scripture has nothing to do with your claim.

Do you have no fear of God?

Do you think it is a game to deceive God’s people in such a way.

How disgraceful.


And His mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation. Luke 1:50

When satan caused the fall of man thru eve's disobedience he gained dominion over man and there is no one worthy to receive our salvation!

God created Mary without original sin in grace, God made Her worthy to receive and give birth to our salvation! Lk 1:49

Scripture says: “holiness befits thy house, O Lord” (Ps 93:5). Mary was Jesus’ “house” for 9 months so if holiness befits God’s house would not Mary be holy also? Just like the Ark and the Tabernacle she was set apart and consecrated to the Lord., the holy dwelling of God.

God thru Mary's obedience regained the dominion!

Bro, Luke 1:49 says nothing at all about Mary being born without sin.

Please stop promoting the false teaching of Mary being born sinless.


All have sinned and all were born in sin.

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— Romans 5:12


Mary need a Savior just like we all do.

God through Christ’s obedience regained dominion for all who believe.

no not like us
We are saved from sin and also preserved from future sin by the power of grace
Mary was conceived without sin and preserved from all sin

see the holiness of God!

examples

the holiest and greatest prophet of the old covenant was Isaiah who at a brief encounter with God declares he is undone a man of unclean lips
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of hosts!

the temple was God's holy dwelling place, so holy only the high priest could enter and only once a year

ark of the covenant was holy with the presence of God and the mercy seat was over shaddowed by the
Spirit

Elizabeth and JtB filled and sanctified by a few moments in contact with the Lord of glory so how holy must the virgin Mary be???

The mother of God with God in Her womb 24/7 for nine months!!!

and the temple and the ark were types of Mary!

then you reject Christ!

to reject His church and His revelation is to reject Christ who established the church and revealed the truth!


All of the truths of the Christian faith are revealed (Jude 1:3) by Christ to His apostolic church, and binding the faith of all Christians to believe. Matt 16:18-19 & 18:18 bound on earth bound in heaven.

Ineffabilis Deus
The Immaculate Conception
Pope Pius IX - 1854

“We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful.”

Lk 1:49 "things" plural!

immaculate conception of Mary and the miraculous conception of Christ!

give thanks and glory to God for both!

Mary is God's masterpiece of grace!

"God has formed the soul & body of the virgin Mary full of the Holy Spirit, so that She is without all sins for She has conceived and born the Lord Jesus"
Martin Luther

 

[JLB]

then you reject Christ!

Actually I simply reject the foolish notion that Mary was born sinless.
