Archbishop Pietro Parolin: Priest Celibacy Is Open To Discussion

Archbishop Pietro Parolin, the new Secretary of State of the Vatican, made some surprisingly frank remarks about priestly celibacy that may indicate a new openness to "the democratic spirit of the times." Pope Francis' plans to reform the Vatican and "shake up the church" have received a lot of attention, but he has not yet publicly addressed the issue of mandatory celibacy for priests.

Parolin said in an interview with Venezuelan newspaper El Universal that the tradition of priestly celibacy is not dogma, or a law of divine origin, and is therefore open to discussion. He went on to note that while the church is not a democratic institution, it needs to "reflect the democratic spirit of the times and adopt a collegial way of governing."

Orthodox priests are often married and have families. Why not the Catholics? Silly regulation. Would cut back on predator F A G S too.

But its good to know that if they did then the coverage is mandated.

And by "mandated" I don't mean your social life.

Priests were allowed to be married for centuries.

One reason for Priests not marrying and having a family was that Rome didn't want Church property and positions to be passed down from father to son.

^ Excellent point- I've heard the same. Some pretty strange things were passed at various councils throughout the middle ages by some odd ducks who wanted to mix in some pagan ideology.
I still believe in the major tenets/dogmas of the Church however.
