Too bad the Pope cannot get married.

He is the only guy that can tell his wife, “I am infallible. I win.”

[I am joking, of course.]

I was told by a Catholic priest that a pope could get married if he wanted to, despite the law of celibacy, because the pope is "above the law." I don't know if that is true or if the priest was joking.

Of course it might cause some dissatisfaction among the lower clergy who were still required to keep the rule.
