One day the College of Cardinals will meet, do a 180 and reverse themselves on the issue of married clergy.

This will happen the day after global net totals in the collection baskets start falling.

You can report me to the Inquisition now.

The College of Cardinals do not in and of themselves determine Church discipline.

Having said that, if ordaining married men; which is already the norm in 21 of the 22 Churches sui juris which comprise the Catholic Church, were the panecea that so many claim it would be, then why do all 21 of those Churches have a shortage of Priests?

the Catholic church has married men becoming priests: No, not just Anglican priests who join, but in the eastern Catholic churches.

What the PC doesn’t mention is that the eastern churches let married men to become priests, but do not allow priests to get married.
