Los Angeles auxiliary Bishop Gabino Zavala is another proof that the Vatican ban priests from marriage.

Pope Benedict publicly accepted the resignation of Los Angeles auxiliary Bishop Gabino Zavala on Jan. 4, after the bishop admitted to fathering two children.
Archbishop Jose H. Gomez called the news “sad and difficult” in a Jan. 4 letter to the faithful, explaining that Bishop Zavala informed him in early December that he is of the father of two teenage minor children who live in another state with their mother.
Since 60-year-old Bishop Zavala submitted his resignation to the Pope, he “has not been in ministry and will be living privately,” Archbishop Gomez said. Bishop Zavala oversaw the San Gabriel Pastoral Region, which is one of five in the archdiocese.
The archbishop noted that the Los Angeles archdiocese “has reached out to the mother and children to provide spiritual care as well as funding to assist the children with college costs.”
He emphasized that the family’s identity is unknown to the public, and that he wishes “to respect their right to privacy.”

My comment:
It is sad that Bishop’s choose to live like hypocrites. For decades this man has burned with passion for women, but hidden his sexual desires and activities. Still he has demanded that the priests and nuns under his pastoral care, rejected marriage and sex.
The Bible exposes the Roman Catholic priesthood as false teachers. You do not have to go deep. Just look at some basic theology. One of the ways of recognizing them, is to look for men who forbid people to marry.
1 Timothy 4
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.
That hundreds of millions of Roman Catholics live in bondage to doctrines taught by demons, is a spiritual tragedy. That plenty of evangelical Christian leaders are not willing to expose them, is a part of the same disaster.
You have to get out of such wicked assemblies, even those where people sing and dance while saying “Halleluja”.
