And that's why we're going to impose on him this promise of celibacy.

I don't see it.

I mean, so in the church, there's the God-imposed rules or laws, and then there's man-imposed, okay?

The man-imposed ones can be changed, and that's not a problem.

The ones that God set forth are untouchable.

We can't change those things.

It was through the popes where they decided to embrace celibacy rather than marriage.

So that can be changed back with no problem.

Pope has the authority to do that.

And in fact, when we have other priests coming in from other religions, you know, there's a guy named Dwight Longnecker.

Father Longnecker was, I think, Episcopalian, and he had a family, but he realized, I want to be part of the Catholic faith.

I think this is where the truth resides the most.

When we took him into the church, the Holy See declared that he would be ordained a priest even though he already has a wife and kids.

And he'd have to make special provisions to provide for them, but that's fine.

Because Peter, we have examples throughout history where it happened.

So that can be changed.

But you can't change the things that God set forth that cannot be changed.

Makes sense.

Like the fasting before Mass, it used to be Vatican II from midnight till you went to Mass, no food, just water.

And then the church said, you know, there's people passing out at Masses a lot.
