    World infact needs like the priests of Roman Catholics who remain Bachelors for the sake of Jesus Christ and well educated apart from the generic studies for 14-18 years before they prove themselves in Philosophy and Theology. Every Roman Catholic Priest therefore is a Philosopher and a Theologian and Well Educated before they could be ordained as Priests and given out to serve the World. May God Bless all of you to be the Strong and Brave Soldiers of Christ to overcome hypocrisies and preach the message of Love and Peace as Jesus Did.
