Can catholic priests and nuns get married ? If no then why.

Yes they can get married

But they don't because of some man made laws

What man made laws ( Whose laws specifically )? I mean was it mentioned in the bible that they should not marry ? If not then why don't they now ? and if they did what will happen to them ? Are there some conditions for it ?

according to a catholic man told me. its because whenever the priests die, all their wealth and belongings goes to the church since he has no offspring.

Interesting, afterall the church needs an income.

I think it is one of the main reasons of child abuse stories we keep hearing.

Are priests and nuns more religious than prophets?

Nuns are married to Christ, but dnt remember where this came from

Then they are married to God.

yes, so they say
When jeff is back will explain

I really miss Jeff :(

^^
Off topic! :hyper:

But I think Jeff might have an answer! :)

It's obviously because they're following the example of Jesus Christ, and trying to live pure lives dedicated to spirituality instead of sexuality.

But it is against Human Nature.

Women are covered Up from head to toe and not allowed to get married and have children, isn't this oppression?

^I guess they view it as a form of 'self-purification'.
To resist this need is to attain a state of purity and complete devotion to God so far as I can see it.
But of course if more Christian members can enlighten us, it would be a delight.

So Jesus PBUH haven't got married ? And he's a God in their belief so if he didn't marry that doesnt mean they don't since they are not Gods too. And isn't this too harsh ? I believe many people will refuse to be nuns and priests because of this.

So who is married is not pure ? Does marriage identifies purifications ? I agree we need aa christian view in this but apparently no one has the answer.

^I have no idea! I was just giving my opinion on one side of it.
