While not a fan of Pope Francis and have vehemently disagreed with many of his comments on economic policy, I am glad he seems to be open and flexible regarding the Church’s policy of mandatory clerical celibacy, which seems to apply to some, but not others.
As noted, it is only mandatory in the Latin Church. Just curious to know why you feel this way.
There is no such thing as mandatory clerical celibacy.
In the Roman Church, priests are chosen from among those who have chosen celibacy.
