Cute joke. Thanks for sharing. The Catholic obsession for celibacy is baffling to say the least. Certainly not based on anything which can be found in the Bible. God’s plan is clearly for Holy Matrimony and procreation. I don’t know why anyone would want to change that plan.

Well; there is a little bit:

1 Corinthians 7:32-33

But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,

1 Corinthians 7:1-4

Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband.

What would Paul have thought about the Catholic teachings about Mary??
