Fernando Lugo, the president of Paraguy, was hit with a second paternity claim. A women claims that he fathered her child. This happened after the president acknowledged that he had fathered nother womans child. All of this was done while he was a Cathilic Bishop. Fernando did not answer the claim, but he did say that, " he is ready to act always in the line of truth."
This man went against a faith that held him in one of the highest positions. He fathered a child, possibly two while he was a bishop. What he did went against the basic rules of becoming a priest. What he did was wrong, but on the other hand he admitted that he was wrong and said that he would take full responsibility of the child. Not saying that what he did was right, but I don't understande why a Catholic man that wants to be a Priest can't be married. If he loves God and loves his family there should be no problem. The Catholic faith believes in a family in which there is a father and a mother that love each other and have children and raise them to love God. Why shouldn't a Priest be aloud to share that same experience? I believe that a priest should get both, a family and be able to be a priest.

If this was true about Fernado, then that would be really bad. He should get some kind of punishment because he chose to be a priest which implies that he wouldn’t get married. We might not know if it’s true yet though. She might have been lying. I agree with you about how a priest should be able to get married but it’s never going to happen. The Catholic Church goes by what Jesus said or did. Jesus was a man that never got married. Who are we to change something in the Church that Jesus didn't do.
ReplyDeleteI understand your viewpoint about priests being allowed to get married, however I think Fernando Lugo does not support your case, since it seems he just wanted sex rather than a committed relationship. Had he stayed with only one woman then I might believe he had a child out of love, which out of marriage is still condemned by the Church, rather than purely sexual impulse. I agree with Katie that allowing priests to marry will probably never come to fruition, because priests are supposed to be "on call" at any hour to help their parishioners, which would be unfair to his wife and family.
