So it would seem. He's trying to justify his abandoning of his vows by claiming that countless other priests are doing the same. I don't buy it.
8 We know that the Law is good, if it is used in the right way. 9 We also understand that it wasn’t given to control people who please God, but to control lawbreakers, criminals, godless people, and sinners. It is for wicked and evil people, and for murderers, who would even kill their own parents. 10 The Law was written for people who are sexual perverts or who live as homosexuals or are kidnappers or liars or won’t tell the truth in court. It is for anything else that opposes the correct teaching 11 of the good news that the glorious and wonderful God has given me.
The above passage also sheds incredible insight into the origins of the Philosophy of the Separation of Church and State prior to the US. Lord Acton recalls these positions in letters to the queen of England explaining the etymology of the term. Herein lies some tremendous insight. The etymology of the term in English legal tradition is understood to not exist for those who will not inherit the Kingdom as that lot will disobey any law regardless. Instead the Separation of Church and State is established so that God fearing men who will behave in civility, might be able to obey the laws of both men and God. But note, that in Scripture, the purpose of the Law focuses on those who will not inherit the Kingdom.
Intersting face of man's law versus God's Law.
