How is that a response to my post?:

:I also know of no Pope who married while Pope. Yet there were several married Popes.

And secondly would be your answer to the question, so consider your answer up to this point partial and perhaps selective. "Were all the Popes who were married in a lower state than the consecrated virgins of that time?"

"It would have expalined to you that a marriage is invalidated if done after consecration of a vow of celibacy"
Interesting. What of those priests who asked for dispensation to marry, and married in the Church? Are they commiting fornication? Is that how God views their marriage? Did those who
What of ex-numeraries who get married in the Church, are they fornicating? Is that how God views their marriage?"

All you can do is accuse me of being proud and an imposter? Are these questions too difficult for one to answer in light of the dogma that consecretate virginity is a higher state than marriage?

Still waiting for the question to be addressed. Do you think I'm a dentist?

I've now read this thread from beginning to end. This fora is Vocations. This thread started about people who are called to live a celibate life. A discusssion of celibacy and all of its historic permutations more rightly belongs on the Apologetics fora.

Thanks to all who participated.
