So if all nuns are married to Jesus, doesn't that make them polygamists?

[helderheid]

just sayin'

1. I think it would make Jesus a polygamist.

Guess it's not a sin! :)

[helderheid]

2. hehe - I caught up with my Sopranos last night and saw the thing

about the nun and it got me to thinkin...

3. True story------->

When I was little (about 7 years old) my mother enrolled me in Catholic school (only lasted 2 years). I was brought up Methodist so catholicism to me was completely foreign. Anyway, one day after class, I asked my teacher (who was not a nun but was a very devout catholic employee of the school), "Why don't nuns get married?" She explained that "The sisters are married to Jesus." I replied, "Whew! Boy, Jesus sure must have a LOT of wives!!"

Laughed so hard, she had to run to the bathroom for fear of peeing on herself. Told that story to all the sisters in the school.

8. If priests are married to Jesus, does that make them gay?

Just askin'.

[helderheid]

9. Exactly!

10. Priests that molest children...

Whenever a child is molested by a priest....why are they boys most of the time???

[helderheid]

11. Errrrr... well, you see, I have a problem with comparing homosexuality and

pedophelia. 2 very different desires.

[Proud_Democratt]

13. Point taken....but

why are the victims mostly boys?

[RC]

12. Because there is a stronger taboo against heterosexual sex than

there is against molesting children.

[Proud_Democratt]

14. That is believable

and maybe confronts the sexual inhibitions that Priests face daily.

[tocqueville]

15. with Priests I imagine that you mean from ALL confessions...

Protestant Preachers are as good molesters than Catholic priests, if not worse...

[Proud_Democratt]

16. Basically...

the ones the public hears about are mostly Priests. Unfortunately, this happens in Protestant circles also. BUT...I still contend that Priests seem to pick boys!!!

[okasha]

21. Because until very recently, the children most available to pedophile

priests were altar boys. It's only recently that some parishes have allowed girls to serve.

[helderheid]

22. that's what I thought

thanks for the clarification

[Proud_Democratt]

18. S.N.A.P., their victim tally shows mostly BOYS

And that only the list of Bishops.

[TygrBright]

17. No, no... Priests are married to...

...the CHURCH!

Far kinkier, really.

puckishly,

[helderheid]

19. OOOH! You're right! Kinky priests and polygamist nuns! WEEEEE!

[Ladyhawk]

20. So, it's fetishism. :) n/t

[TallahasseeGrannie]

23. I don't think priests consider themselves

married to Jesus. At least I hope not!

The nun thing...it is kind of creepy, isn't it? I went to a convent boarding school and all the nuns wore wedding rings.

On the other hand, without doubt, the finest humans I know are nuns. Then again, I know a nun who is without a doubt the spawn of Satan.

24. That's because they aren't

Priests are not symbolically married to anyone. Nuns become a Bride of Christ in a sort of living metaphor; they represent the Church, who is the Bride of Christ. Current Catholics - have I remembered this all correctly?
