Priests being unmarried is not dogma. It could possibly change in the future.

So, you have no problem with married priests?

No, the problem with advocating married priests is one of disobedience, but to the discipline of the Church, not God's Law.

I'm sure you're familiar with the concept of Church Discipline as it's practiced, for example, among the Southern Baptists.

Dear Friend, If the Church decides to change this,it would be fine with me. Personally,I don,t see it happening anytime soon.

We have married Catholic priests in the United States today. Not many, but some.
