Originally posted by Valke2 I understand that the scriptures don’t mention marriage and that it is clear Jesus wasn’t married according to tradition and the Church. My question was only what lessons, if any, does the Church teach that are based on Jesus not being married?

Jesus was a very, very smart man.

Simple, it signifies chief dedication to God’s work rather than earthly pleasures. It is not to say that earthly pleasures are bad, but giving them up is a great sacrifice and allows you to devote full time to God rather than divided between God and family obligations.

The Bible is very clear on this, see Mat 19:10-12 and especially 1 Cor 7.

Also, it would potentially cause scandal for people to go around claiming biological parenthood from Christ.

Ditto. And that Dan Brown’s books are fanciful.
