Celibate priest. Yeah. Yeah. And it's so weird to go to an oncologist who has never had cancer, a dietician who has never been obese, or a male gynecologist.

Not.

It may interest you that Mother Teresa's religious order, the Missionaries of Charity (MC), has taught over 100,000 low-income couples in India to use NFP to space or delay pregnancies.

That's as of a couple of years ago. Probably much higher now.

From what I hear, Catholic, Hindu or whatever, couples are absolutely delighted to learn how their bodies work, and how to space or delay pregnancies (or prevent or even achieve pregnancies, as they choose) in a way that strengthens the marriage, has no drug/device side effects, is inoffensive to religious morals and and doesn't cost them a cent.

That's how a sane society would define "reproductive freedom."

I've never spoken to a "priest" in my whole life. I wonder what it would be like. I'd probably get in an argument with him in 60 seconds about Mary.

So I guess my issue is not about his celibacy it's about his job. As I think about it the man who first disciple me taught me a ton about many biblical concepts about marriage and that man was celibate.

I presume you use natural health practices as well and reject the use of modern medicine.

Just let nature take it’s course and stop interfering with God’s will, eh?
