On social media, a Nigerian priest who is married and has a wife and kids has gone viral.
While priests are supposed to remain celibate for the rest of their lives, the popular priest caused a stir when he flaunted his lovely family.
The man responded positively to a netizen’s question about whether he and other priests were permitted to get married.
His own parish is different, he explained, because he is a Catholic priest and not a Roman Catholic.
Gabrielleamakat, a netizen, left a comment.
“Can people like you get married? How do we distinguish between the parishes, and is it the same mass? Are you enrolled in the same seminary?
Priests are expected to resemble Jesus Christ, but let me be clear: no one can ever be exactly like Him. Priests’ marriage ban must be lifted by the Catholic Church. This restriction causes many of them to engage in repeated fornication. It’s time to accept reality and make the required adjustments.
“We know most romantic priests have children in secret, but coming out and saying this, nah????” @SitoEmmy said.
