In the Catholic religion, the Pope answers to only one person. His name is God. Priests are celebate and most (all?) Popes have been priests, though it is not required that they be a priest. == The pope is a cleric who has taken the three perpetual vows at his ordination. One of these vows is to observe perfect chastity. The vow of chastity makes it incumbent upon the cleric to abstain from sex and any activity that is particularly familiar or isolated with another person of either sex so that even temptation is avoided and reduced. However, if a pope, or any cleric for that matter, wishes to violate this vow either out of weakness or deliberate will, that is their choice. This choice would be a sin, and Catholics would be scandalized if this sin was known to them. A few popes have had illegitimate children and mistresses and have caused scandal because of it. Catholics can only then put moral pressure upon the pope to return to the observance of his vows by voicing their displeasure and scandal at his behaviour. The pope, however, cannot be deposed as the Church hierarchy is not a democracy, and as long as his personal failings do not enter into the execution of his papal office, his personal offenses do not invalidate his ability to be the pope, though he will be looked upon as an extremely poor pope and may suffer indignities to his reputation and burial upon his death.

Undoubtedly, some popes have engaged in clandestine sexual relations, especially during the Middle Ages. Modern popes are generally too old to be likely to be sexually active, but we will never know.

What is the catholic view on sex?

Gift and procreation Sex is a gift from god. God made sex fun because he loves us, and he wants us to enjoy our lives. In return for this, god has asked that we use sex to procreate, to create more humans to populate the earth. Sex and marriage God has also said that the best environment to raise a child is a man and a women who love each other. So many Christians choose not to have sex until they are married, because they don't want to risk having a child out of wedlock. Contraception Since the idea of sex is to procreate, it would be hypocritical to have sex, and at the same time prevent yourself from having children. So many catholics choose not to use contraception Other catholics believe that god does allow contraception, and that he invented natural ways to protect yourself from childbirth. They believe these methods are okay.
