whoever said the bit about st peter being married, you’re dead right. According to my Jesuit bro there is no liturgical reason for having unmarried priests or not having women ones. Just your old fashioned RC misogyny (i know whereof I speak too, RG!! Didn’t twig we were both in THAT club).

Also, and apologies for any polish people out there, but this is really a joke about the last pope, from my aforementioned Jesuit bro.

The Pope is praying to God.

Oh dear god, oh dear lord, will there ever be married priests?

Not in your lifetime, comes the answer.

Phew, says the Pope. Thank God for that.

then he starts praying again.

Oh dear God, oh dear lord, will there ever be women priests?

Again, the relpy comes, not in your lifetime.

Thank the lord, says the Pope.

He carries on praying.

Oh dear God, Oh dear lord, will there ever be another Polish Pope?

Not in my lifetime, says God.

emma what do you mean? that is my husband. (not really). i can’t leave comments on your blog any more – blogger hates me and even rejects my google acc. sorry! i think it’s something to do with wordpress and the ‘no anonymous comments’ feature of blogger. i’m still reading you though. x
alpha i like your thinking – you may need to become defender of the faith in megrovia. x
urban i’m almost to envious of your tenuous award to speak to you any more – but i love the idea of imaginary rosary beads so i’ll have to say ‘congratulations’ through gritted teeth.
flutter i’m sorry to tell you i don’t even know how to use photoshop – not even sure i’ve got it. that is absolutely genuine! and i found it by googling ‘hairy ears’. bleeeeuuurgh!
steph i was just thinking the other day that armpits are in a very inconvenient position for shaving. when i’m in charge – please, let it be soon – i’ll change all that. personal trimmers for men will be provided free! and there’ll be stiff penalties for not using them.
mangonel you do have a vivid imagination! but you got me thinking. i wonder if it would be a bit like tugging your earlobes – cos that’s very pleasant. one of my hobbies, in fact. deep ear, indeed!
violet where on earth do you get this information? i must know!
meredic what on earth is that a picture of? (oh – and can i borrow an elastic band, please?). i have to hide my hairdresser’s receipts, so huge are they!
sheepish for someone who deal with livestock everyday, that’s saying something!
disgruntled your secret is safe with me – and the 1,766,000 other people on wordpress. mind you, it would help to keep your desk tidy.
charlotte it would be tremendous fun to wax a man’s ear hair – only for the pain it would inflict, of course.
bootsie your mind is as swirly-whirly as mine, i fear – so sue me! x
billy i dunno – was he? i think the whole celibacy thing arose because the church was concerned about inheritence issues when priests had children – nothing theological at all. i’ll have to ask my mother – she’s frighteningly well informed on this kind of thing.
moobs the only place they don’t have a problem recruiting priests is, apparently, in ledcs where a vow of poverty is actually a step up! i’m looking forward to inspecting your ears.

Ah the terrible moment when my barber first said to me: “would you like me to trim the hair in your ears?”

I think married priests are inevitbale simply because numbers are declinging so fast they will need to be able to do that to fend off the dread prospect of women priests.

Wasn’t St Peter married? So I don’t understand why all the others can’t be as well…

Oh, it’s just plain hideous. What good woman wants to clip ear hair anyway? I say wax ‘em.
