Hello!
First of all, I would like to say that you are very brave to have made this page. God has truly gifted you with great courage and wisdom to do such a thing.
Secondly, I have a question. Some of my friends are questioning me on the fact that priests and consecrated women are not to be married. They tell me that man and woman were created for each other and were created for marriage. How would I respond to this? I know all people are created to be holy and each person has a call to live out that holiness either through consecration/ordination or through the sacrament of holy matrimony. I’m just stumped on why this is so.
