Jamaican Catholic Priest Weds, Switches To Anglican

[evanovitch]

Former priest in the Jamaican Roman Catholic Church, Michael Lewis, is now a married man.
He wedded Patricia Moss Solomon in Florida earlier this month.
It came several months after he abruptly left the church over undisclosed reasons.
It is understood that Lewis has joined the Anglican denomination in the US.
Lewis previously served as pastor for the Stella Maris Roman Catholic Church in St Andrew.

This often occurs. You know this old joke?

Importance of Original Knowledge

Principle #1: Don't trust retellers, get hold of the original sources.

A new monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He notices, however, that they are copying copies, and not the original books.

So, the new monk goes to the head monk to ask him about this. He points out that if there was an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies. The head monk says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son."

So, he goes down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original. Hours later, nobody has seen him. So, one of the monks goes downstairs to look for him. He hears sobbing coming from the back of the cellar and finds the old monk leaning over one of the original books crying. He asks what's wrong.

"The word is celebrate not celibate," says the old monk with tears in his eyes.

so yuh really think sey is after him switch him deh wid her?

yuh woulda fus in line to cuss him for having woman as a priest

[Tropicana]

No, I would not. If he found himself attracted to a woman and found he could not continue to be a priest for sure he should have left the priesthood.

I am not Catholic. I do not see Scripture as insisting that priests must remain unmarried. At one time, even the Popes were permitted to marry.

1 One parishioner says she would have given her best teeth to be a fly on the wall to hear that proposal. Others are whispering about prenuptial arrangements, yet others are talking about green card facilitation in preference to a Trinidadian hide-out. All in all, this is the most talked-about event in Jamaica this year.
