My struggle with Numerical Methods project would have failed very quickly If I hadn't recovered my spiritual and physical strength with the incredibly amazing and amazingly incredible May's Post of the Month. The author in a laconic but imbued with wisdom message managed to explain us the Divine truth without unnecessary embellishments and complicated language. I think everyone can benefit from such a great post. Brothers and Sisters, give a big round of applause to genesisone! I said saints were celibate before becoming saints, which could mean three weeks, such as in the case of martyrs, three years or from the time of birth. I never said: Saints never had a part of their lives when they were not Saintly. Might I suggest something else could be at work: it was not their celibacy that made them saints, but that their saintliness led them to choose celibacy. The aforementioned St Mary of Egypt would be an example of that. |

Frustrated. I felt the same way when the last few POTM were announced, but didn't say anything. I don't have any issue with the post, and like genesisone, I just have found all the winners this year to be underwhelming. |

Awesome post. Perhaps your simple message explains why a mandatory celibate priesthood in Roman Catholicism does not make sense. |

Not really, since one of the chief reasons why mandatory celibacy arose is because a priest cannot serve mass when he's had sex the night before, and priests in the Catholic Church are expected to serve mass daily. |
