    Should Priests Get Married?

    Here's the site to the seminary: SEMINARIO ARCIVESCOVILE DI LUCCA There's something wrong with the list of serminarians because, for instance, Alex Martinelli has been a priest for about 3 or 4 years now and his name should not be on there. The pix in the center of the yellow bldg is the...

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    He doesn't seem like the fearful type. I have things I don't like about both Catholicism and Protestantism. I'd like to hear what he has to say.
