Oh, for the good ol days. I’m thinking of that first line spoken in “A Man for All Seasons”
“there’s the country every second bastard born is fathered by a priest.”
Ultimately this one is in the Holy Spirit’s hands

Big yawn. A celibate priesthood is a
discipline of the Roman (Latin) Rite of the Catholic Church. Other rites (Eastern Catholic rites in union with Rome) have had married clergy for centuries. If Rome decided it was in the best interest of the Church, they could change that particular discipline at any time.
Disciplines can change at any time. Doctrine (such as an all-male clergy) cannot.

The current pope seems to be very progressive. He can change the rule in a minute, if he chooses to. The guy who is all happy about homosexual “unions”, and about letting muzzies stream into Europe can allow married priests any time he wants.

My opinion — he is off his rocker and doesn’t want to dedicate his life to God.

Talk like this paradoxically encourages Priests to take mistresses.
