>>19400864You should read about Pope Demetrius I of Alexandria. His story is pretty amusing. It reads as if he was the first heterosexual member of the priesthood, and he had to concoct some ridiculous excuse for being married because it was actually scandalous for a married man to be a part of the clergy. He actually claimed to be mutual celibates with his wife for many decades and that they merely slept next to each other.
