Marriage is not like a game of football or mathematics. If u are not in it,you cant talk about it.

Yup they're not fit, kind of how mothers can't counsel their sons because they are not men/fathers.
Re: Are Reverend Fathers Qualified To Advise Couples? by segyemaro(m): 7:15am On May 16, 2009
Thats correct
Re: Are Reverend Fathers Qualified To Advise Couples? by arowolo888: 6:32pm On May 17, 2009
they are not qualified to counsel couples because they lack the experience,they cant give what they dont have.

l want to say with all conviction that ignorance is killing everyone in this forum. has any of you wonder what it means to counsel, as a matter of fact l want to say that most of the rev. frs. know more about marriage counselling than the married whatevers, u guys have forgotten that it takes knwledge and wisdom to counsel.

everything that happens to man on earth deals with the mind and if the mind can be studied, why should we have problem with experience or no experience. ladies and gentlemen this is what is called psychology,

think about it!!!

So because a mother does not have a penis she cannot counsel her son?

glad it made u laugh but seriously according to ppl u can't be good at counselling if u didn't go through it urself.
I've never had children but I have given sound advice to women with children on what to do about situations involving their children.
There are unmarried therapists and they do marriage couselling, some of them have been divorced and yet people flock to them for counseling.

The guys said if u don't have it or if u haven't been in that situation u can't counsel a person. Well mothers don't have penis and they can never be a father, yet they counsel their sons. or are we going to say women can't counsel their sons again?

What makes Rev. Fathers good counsellors?
Because they know what entails a marriage. You don't have to be married to know what it takes to make a marriage work. Also because they are not married it actually puts them in a better position to give counsel. Those who are married tend to bring in their own relationships and experiences into their counsels and quite frankly their relationship has absolutely nothing to do with the couple they're counselling. Rev. Fathers can step back and look at the situation with a fresh mind and with no bias.

I'm going to get a video to post for u by a bishop on marriage. my comp is acting up right now so will do later.

btw? where have u been? i so completely missed u

so why can't rev.fathers counsel with or without marriage? u don't have to have it or go through it to know how to help others in it.

Lady,i do not agree with you. giving cousel to children is different from doing same to married couples.

Na which sense u want?
Re: Are Reverend Fathers Qualified To Advise Couples? by segyemaro(m): 2:15pm On Jun 25, 2009
A week ago i learnt that a couple dragged themselves before Rev Fatger, the man said his wife is too dull on bed that she was packaged to him from the village,that he is getting married to another woman that can fully satisfy him. While the woman is saying that her husband is also dull that he doesnt touch the vital part of her body to make her reach her orgasm on time. So the Rev Father was to settle and counsel this couple. And we are made to believe that Rev Fathers are pure virgins,and dont know anything about sex,so how do you thik he can handle it because you must be a master of a game before you can coach it.
Re: Are Reverend Fathers Qualified To Advise Couples? by segyemaro(m): 1:18pm On Jul 05, 2009
Were are the catholics?we want to hear you take on this.
Re: Are Reverend Fathers Qualified To Advise Couples? by eghosaobas: 10:07am On Jul 13, 2009
NO they are not qualified,you cant give what you dont have.

How is it different?

Who leads you to believe?
Popular knowledge doesn't make it true. It is usually assumed that because Rev. Fathers cannot marry that they must be virgins.
There are some Rev. Fathers that were married before becoming Priests, their wives died and so they decided not to marry again and felt called to the Priesthood.
Also most of them have been through college and were put in tempting situations.
One I know was an Ob/Gyn before he became a Priest.
Another one that was highlighted in a magazine was a financier and was very successful, he made well into the upper 6 figures on wall street and was not satisfied with his life. He left all that to become a Priest and is much happier.
A woman who also worked on wall street was disatisfied with her life and left wall street to become a cloistered nun.

If more and more people were to sit and talk to Priests they will be very surprised.

Also a big shocker for people is that there are married Priests. People just don't know this.
When Anglican Priests convert to the Catholic faith they are usually married and wish to continue as Priests, so they are allowed to do so.
In the Eastern Church the Priests are allowed to marry but they must be married before they can become Priests and they cannot be Bishops.

People need to get over the stereotype and actually find things out.
Re: Are Reverend Fathers Qualified To Advise Couples? by segyemaro(m): 8:41pm On Jul 20, 2009
Lady,are you sure with all you ve just said?is it right for a divorcee or a widower to go into priesthood?pls i want to know cos i am not a catholic.
Re: Are Reverend Fathers Qualified To Advise Couples? by marvisken: 4:21pm On Jul 22, 2009

Re: Are Reverend Fathers Qualified To Advise Couples? by osaromike: 12:38pm On Jan 06, 2010

Does this mean we should disregard Jesus' teachings about marriage and divorce  Because Jesus himself was never married
Re: Are Reverend Fathers Qualified To Advise Couples? by afiq(m): 6:36am On Jan 12, 2010
They are more than qualified. Do not belittle them just because they are Priest/Pastor. Ignorance is bliss.
