@NickKristof there have been non-celibate priests in the church. there still are, in the non-roman rites. please do ur homework @mrsunlawyer
At some point, the church will accept contraception and female and non-celibate priests. Could it be in the next papacy?

@rowsterr But if they can only participate in non-Roman rites, means they're imposed limitations celibate priests don't have?@NickKristof0 retweets 0 likes - View other replies

@mrsunlawyer wikipedia entry is wrong. makes common mistake of equating "catholic" with "roman catholic." not all catholics are roman!!!0 retweets 0 likes -
@rowsterr No, but like I said, usual connection with Pope in ordinary scheme of things is with RCC. And the RCC requires celibacy, yes?0 retweets 0 likes - View other replies

@mrsunlawyer It is a requirement, but it is not doctrinal. It can be removed if the Papacy saw fit to do so.@rowsterr0 retweets 0 likes - View other replies

@NickKristof non-celibacy is allowed for Anglican coverts. I suspect a V3 council will convene and examine these issues.5 retweets 1 like - View other replies

@JayanthNazareth@NickKristof I would have thought this would happen with or post John Paul II, and it did not. Benedict seemed MORE rigid.0 retweets 0 likes -
@LucyBklyn@NickKristof In reality John Paul II was conservative. He cracked down on the Jesuits and humilated their superior0 retweets 0 likes -
I agree. But Benedict seemed more so. The church needs a John XXIV MT
