Well, priests were supposed to be celibate in the West from about the 4th century, not 10th; it just took a while for it to be uniformly enforced. The Roman Catholic Church may well finally relax that; eucharistic ministers aren't sufficient to make up for the deficit of priests. I'm a little more concerned with some of the other stuff he's advocating, however. Celibate homosexuals should be welcomed, but I suspect he's not referring to them.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

I don't expect it to happen immediately, and probably not with the next Pope (I expect a fairly conservative successor to Francis). Within the next couple of decades? No idea."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by Catholicity View PostThere are some priests that have families, usually they are converts from anglicanism or lutheranism. Its a small t- tradition. Meaning its respected and held up, but it CAN change.I am Punkinhead.
