Day 175 - Why does the Church require priests and bishops to live - TopicsExpress

Day 175 - Why does the Church require priests and bishops to live a celibate life? Jesus lived as a celibate and in this way intended to show his undivided love for God the Father. To follow Jesus way of life and to live in unmarried chastity for the sake of the kingdom of heaven (Mt 19:12) has been since Jesus time a sign of love, of undivided devotion to the Lord, and of a complete willingness to serve. The Roman Catholic Church requires this way of life of its bishops and priests, while the Eastern Catholic Churches demand it only of their bishops. Celibacy, says Pope Benedict, cannot mean remaining empty in love, but rather must mean allowing oneself to be overcome by a passion for God. A priest who lives as a celibate should be fruitful inasmuch as he represents the fatherly character of God and Jesus. The Pope goes on to say, Christ needs priests who are mature and manly, capable of exercising a true spiritual fatherhood. (YOUCAT questions 258)
