Masturbation is forbidden for every Catholic

Is it even possible to live a celibate life?

After another sex scandal involving a senior member of the Catholic Church, questions are again being asked about celibacy. Is it realistic for someone to permanently go without sex?

Celibacy does not mean abstinence.

To the purists, celibacy - derived from the Latin for unmarried - means a permanent state of being without sex.

Abstinence can be temporary. And it's possible to be abstinent in a relationship. "True" celibacy means a life without both sex and a spouse or partner. Of course, there are many who give it a looser definition - merely indicating some sort of commitment to be without sex.

The subject is back in the headlines after Cardinal Keith O'Brien admitted that his "sexual conduct" had fallen below the standards expected of him amid allegations of "inappropriate behaviour".

As a Catholic priest he was expected to abstain from all sexual activity and devote himself to God and the Church's followers. Buddhist monks have similar expectation. In both religions, masturbation is regarded as a breach of celibacy.

For non-religious people the institution can be hard to comprehend.

An evil religion which makes every natural and joyous human activity a sin. Nasty lot.

I loathe the non-admission admissions.

His "sexual conduct" fell below expectations? No. He threw himself on younger seminarians, violated his duty as a priest, violated his oath to his supposed god, and committed the sin of buggering men while at the same time hypocritically campaigning against homosexuality.

Fell below the standards, my fucking foot. What? Whose "standards" would be in accord with his conduct? Nobody as far as the Catlicks are concerned. It's not a question of him attempting to hold to a higher standard than the normal slob is supposed to uphold and failing at that high standard. He failed at not being a hypocrite. He failed at not lying through his teeth. He failed at upholding his oath.

And, what's worse - he fucking failed at owning up to his defalcations! He initially denied it! And, now when he is supposedly taking responsibility he says that the "nonspecific nature" of the allegations caused him to dispute them. What a dick! I mean -- he knows what he did. As a priest, he's going to get all hypertechnical and deny allegations because of the phraseology rather than the actual sense and truth of the allegations? Fucking scumbag!

The folks that wrote the rules, way back when, apparently needed a LOT of mental health help. The misogyny alone would get them referred to a professional these days.

It's very noticeable that the RC church really pushes the "forgiveness" angle when it or one of its clergy has f****d up big-time.

The whole church hierarchy is built around getting perverts out of trouble. It's the planet's largest "good old boy" system.

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

They have to ban things like this, including condoms, to make it more exciting to bteak the rules. Otherwise the priests would be wanking all over the place and washing hands in the holy water.
