Celibacy made the Church an empire

The pedophile scandals in the Catholic Church is giving

    honest and SANE celibacy a bad rap.  Rather than make a man " better "

    the institution of marriage  more often than not diminishes a man. It

    can be said that bourgeois marriage is the ENEMY of art and science and

    even peaceful and creative meditation.

               Einstein, for example, in his old aged confessed that he never

    liked being harnessed and that marriage was for the birds.

               As an  institution the Church would never have accumulated great

    wealth - and power - if it had to compete with numerous queen bees with

    vulgar visions of domestic bliss.

                 It is enough to see a man quietly enjoying a good book -

    if not THE GOOD BOOK - to infuriate the average housewife. How dare her

    man find anything in the universe more interesting than HER - even for

    a lousy half-hour !

                     It is possible to be SANELY celibate - if you have some

    passion in life stronger than testosterone.
