And.....???

The point is that celibacy is a Biblicaly-based DISCIPLINE, and not a DOGMA.

It is subject to change, and not a requirement.

You will find married priests in the Roman Catholic Church, specifically from 2 sources. The first is that eastern churches permit married priests, but not married bishops. Additionally, former Episcopal/Anglican priests who have converted to Catholicism have been allowed to be re-ordained.

Yes, the door is open.

Sorry to take the wind out of your sails.

It is subject to change, and not a requirement.

But the Church has made it a requirement.

A priest cannot marry.

So if it's really subject to change, then why is bringing up the issue such a sore spot for so many Catholics.

You didn't take any wind from my sails. Telling Catholics to go to another church to get married and you will graciously let them back in through the back door is too much like playing a game. Your theology is flawed and non-Biblical.
