Aint That Some S***t.....

Hold up, Hold up, Hold up (Kanye West voice)

So recently a Catholic Bishop is resigning from his job because he has broken his vowel of celibacy for fathering teenage sons and having a wife.

Who is this man? What's the gist of this story? Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop Gabino Zavala, 60 has resigned under the code of canon law that lets bishops step down earlier than the normal retirement age of 75 if they're sick or for some other reason that makes them unfit for office.



In a letter to the faithful, Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez said Zavala had told him in December that he had two children who lived with their mother in a different state.



Zavala subsequently submitted his resignation to the pope.

The archdiocese asked for prayers for those involved as it revealed it has offered spiritual and financial aid to help the children with college costs, Gomez said in the letter posted on the blog of the Catholic News Service.

The archdiocese has reached out to the mother and children to provide spiritual care as well as funding to assist the children with college costs.
The family's identity is not known to the public.


With all of the scandals that deal with Catholic priests molesting children you would think people would happy to know that this man has kids and is married to a woman. Wrong... some people are actually pissed he broke this vowel of celibacy. I don't even think he did anything wrong. Man is not supposed to walk earth alone, be fruitful and multiply. Does this ring any bells.

Apparently Roman Catholic priests are required to be celibate, though Eastern rite priests can be married and married Anglican priests who convert can become Catholic priests.

The celibacy requirement is often blamed for discouraging many men who would otherwise consider the priesthood. He is the latest Catholic Church official who was found to have had a secret family.

I think it is stupid that priests are not allowed to be married or have children. I could understand being celibate prior to marriage but doing that for a lifetime is stupid to me.
