Pope Francis: Celibacy Requirement Can Be Changed

It looks like all of the previous popes were wrong about celibacy.

Perhaps the church should rethink its position on a pope’s infallibility as well.

Meh. It's a book of philosophical stories..it actually intrigues me of what basic people thought two thousand years ago and prior. It's their writings that's why to follow today you must use a broad brush and know that license was taken even back then.

A valid point though.

its a book a bad philosophical stories..almost everything in the bible is either wrong, or done for the wrong reasons.
they're trying to get you to have faith, which they can manipulate.
Watch this, it is pretty representational of the way the bible distorts and misrepresents EVERYTHING...

David is a missile launcher, and Goliath is an out of date tank, if David hadn't been able to take Goliath out with no effort, he would have been a horrible slinger, a kid that could kill rabbits for dinner could have taken out Goliath...
