Scandalous Popes of the Middle Ages

The "died as he lived, committing adultery" comment doesn't put enough detail onto the fact that an angry husband threw him out a plate glass window. Imagine being the man who THREW THE POPE OUT OF A WINDOW

Rather that than the GUY WHO HAD HIS WIFE BABGED BY THE POPE

[@redmist6630]

the pope was like god at that time. People werent educated to have doubts about religion thats insane

I agree with Chad that celibacy is a dumb practice. I believe the reasoning for it is Paul was celibate. Either that or because they believe Jesus was celibate (which is a whole can of worms that involves all kinds of things involving Mary Magdalene, the split with Gnosticism and mainstream Christianity, and Merovingian line of French royalty, and Dan Brown that I don't think anyone has time tonight to really deep dive into). But if it's the Paul thing, Paul said HE was celibate, and preferred other members of the Church to be as well, but ALSO said that not everyone is or could be him, and it was better to get married and fuck than fuck around and get the clap.

[@ZeallustImmortal]

Paul wasn't celibate, so I doubt it was that.

[@johnark4723]

Just from a quick Google search, it's so that they can give their undivided attention to God.

[@ADADEL1]

@@ZeallustImmortal 1 Corinthians 7: 4-11 NIV "4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7 I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. 8 Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion. 10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife." So at least I guess you could say that Paul was either celibate or a widower according to 1 Corinthians, and at least the idea of priests doing it was to stretch that idea of 'for a time' to their whole adult life? I imagine that this passage was pretty much the start of the Christian preoccupation with marriage.

Alexander VI = Rodrigo Borgia was one of the most infamous leaders of the papacy. He was allowed to sire children before becoming Pope and would make them legitimate by Vatican law. He treated the papacy as his personal kingdom.

[@YukoValis]

When the pope has the power of a king, they are going to be acting like a king. Some say it is good to be the king.

[@respectfullyrazerian2154]

10:22 Well Chad your main issue there is trying to apply logic to something like the tests of god. Ever heard of a guy called Job? Pretty much any form of pleasure you indulge in is sinful and a test of your will to deny yourself in exchange for the reward of basking at god until the end of time, and if i'm being honest i don't think you're getting laid in heaven either. If i had to guess you'll basically become a sycophantic zombie who has no real desires beyond being in God's kingdom.

[@tariqshort4025]

Yep sounds about right.

[@nzstump0152]

The priests and pope were allowed to have sex and be married till about the 1200s or so, papal celibacy didn't exist till the mid 1300s

[@christopherclay14]

1 Corinthians 7 will answer your questions about sex and if it’s a test or not 😊
