Just a few problems here: There are married RC priests, RCC recognizes EO orders, Old Testament priests could be married, and Protestants believe in offering the sacrifice of praise and Thanksgiving.
Catholics believe priests must not engage in intercourse because priests OFFER SACRIFICE. They are not mere “preachers.”. In the Bible, offering sacrifice requires continence.

You know who gets this? Trump. Well, not the going to church part. But the dressing up stuff. Except for the golf course, he is always in suit and tie.

When Africans or Caribbeans visit ACNA churches, they are always dressed up the most. Black churches in the US also usually far outpace even the WASPiest of white churches. It's a mindset thing.

You should dress up for church. You say that it's too hot or uncomfortable, but 1) Your grandparents would always dress up for church. Things were hotter then, and their clothes were very likely more uncomfortable. 2) Christians in other (hotter) countries still dress up.

Turtles all the way down.
People are saying they are questioning my interpretation of the magisterium and offering their own interpretation of the magisterium as an alternative. But isn’t it weird that people have to interpret the magisterium? Isn’t the point of having a magisterium to eliminate personal

"His voluntary suffering and death on the cross for us, being of infinite value and merit, as the death of one sinless, God and man in one person, is both a perfect satisfaction to the justice of God, which had condemned us for sin to death,.

"All agree, except the Unitarians, and misled Bible Students, who do not accept the sacrifice of Christ as propitiatory, since they believe that Christ was simply a man, and hence His sacrifice was personal, and not for all men.".
