        Disagree. Married priests and nuns would be prone to demanding crazy things like, a living wage to be able to support their families, for example... And that would prove DISASTROUS for the *real* foundations of the catholic church

        Let married men everywhere be priests. Maybe you’ll stop having dudes resort to touching kids...

        Is this how the Pope intends to "curb" the sexual predators in the Catholic Church? Also, can these religious groups please stop imposing their belief systems on indigenous groups?

        Just ditch the whole non-married priest thing. Where is it mentioned in the Bible that priests shouldn't be married?

        Yeah, what remote parts of the Amazon need are Catholic priests. #SinOfPride @Pontifex

        Well if they let child molesters be priests why not married men?

        They do it already with pastors from other religions that convert and want to become priests. They let them and they don’t leave their families.
