CELIBACY
“Celibacy is not a divine way of Christian life” these were once the words of Dr. Rodig, the head of the Catholic splitter group calling its self ‘The Ecumenical Catholic Church of Christ”. Due to this unusual occurrence, the church has found itself in an unprecedented situation that is almost splitting it into two. This has left a growing number of ‘men of the flock’ denouncing the church and found refuge in other denominations and splitter churches.
Father Alberto Cutie, a well known cleric, aged 40, who once despised relationship advice on Spanish radio and television shows and in newspapers, was afterward photographed strolling with a woman on a beach. After joining the Episcopal Church, which allows him to marry, he said that he had fallen in love and broken the celibacy vows.
There are so many father Albertos suffering in silence who have come up with the excuse of splitter groups claiming to be born again and spirit filled. They have eventually adapted a Pentecostal way of worship which contradicts the Catholic doctrine. The number of splitter groups is rising daily, leaving the church with no option but to make a stand. But if they are guided by the Holy spirit as they claim, then the Catholic church should be ready for a split be ready to embrace these changes.
This movement must be giving the Pope a hard time who has the option of leading the Church towards a transition or protecting the doctrines of the church and risk the walk away of half of the flock. But these are very dangerous options for him, a third one could have saved the situation.
