I don't think marrying is a right for priests. It's whatever the church decides.

I don't see a problem with it. There are advantages and disadvantages.

From a church dogma standpoint, it's the pope's call. And we won't go to hell or heaven one way or the other.

The church is like a giant ship. It takes forever to turn (change some policies). They may or may not change it, but if they do, thousands will rent their clothing and pull their hair out. The rest of us, will go to mass and meet the Mrs.

The turn would be to return to the original Latin practice which once had married clergy and this was approved via ecumenical council ruling - i.e. returning to Latin married clergy would be a course correction back to its original sailing plan.
