You do know there are married priests in certain circumstances, right?

Without a link/ story this thread is useless...

This will be the first time I've agreed with Commie Pope. As long as we aren't including gay marriages in this.

Clarification (my apologies this was NOT the way it was reported on the air, but the news is breaking fast so I will give Mika B. a break) - would pertain only to men already married, not those already priests (I thought that was allowed already? I don't know I am not Catholic)?

And you know it will.

But I do agree they should be allowed to marry (straight only).

This is non news, married man who convert can be priest. This has been like this for a while. I think priest and nuns should be able to marry.

Celibacy for priests should be reserved for mature adults.

This will put a stop to pederasty.

Just curious. Are the posters saying they think priests should be able to marry practicing Catholics?

I am a practicing Catholic and I have said for some time that Priests should be able to marry. For me, it is a view of practicality. The priesthood is becoming older and less young people are signing up to be celebrate priests. The result is a shortage of priests in parishes and an influx of foreigners into the priesthood. There was no restriction to priest marriages for the first 1000 years of the church, so it is not like this is not precedented.
