Pope Francis seems like a cool guy but I had no idea just how cool until I read this quote he made back in 2012! I guess he was speaking about his views on celibacy which appear to be based on his own personal experiences! When commenting on his early years the pontiff said, ‘I was dazzled by a girl I met at an uncle’s wedding.’” So I think my mind has just been blown, would you mind checking for me?
“I was surprised by her beauty, her intellectual brilliance … and, well, I was bowled over for quite a while. I kept thinking and thinking about her. When I returned to the seminary after the wedding, I could not pray for over a week because when I tried to do so, the girl appeared in my head. I had to rethink what I was doing,” was the Pope’s direct quote in the Spanish language book entitled “Sobre el Cielo y la Tierra” (On the Heavens and the Earth), according to intimes.co.uk. The most shocking part about all of this is Pope Francis’s openness to talk about this subject, considering is predecessors were pretty clear in their belief that celibacy was the only way to go.
