Marry what?
Men?
Farm animals?
Probably be easier on choirboy’s asses too.
Marx, how ironic of a last name.
Changing the rules isn’t going to fix the problem, which is that the church has become a puppet of globalism/communism.
The falling away continues. Look up!
The Crazy Germans and their Crazy Cardinal should all become Episcopalian and they can get married be gay or whatever, no questions. That denomination already exists.

Give ‘em the sacrament of marriage,
Give ‘em the sacrament of marriage,
Give ‘em the sacrament of marriage,
It’s good enough for priests.
It was good enough for Peter,
It was good enough for Peter,
It was good enough for Peter,
And it’s good enough for priests.
It was good for Martin Luther,
It was good for Martin Luther,
It was good for Martin Luther,
And it’s good enough for priests...
They’ve been messing forever...and the church doesn’t pay for their mates and kids. The church would come up with clever pre-nup...to get out of any costs.
IT WOULD BE AWFUL!! WHAT ABOUT DIVORCE??? WHAT ABOUT CLOTHING?? WHAT ABOUT KIDS?? WHAT ABOUT AN ABUSIVE WIFE? A FLOOZIE??
REAL CATHOLIC PRIESTS WANT NO PART OF THIS IDEA!
“CARDINAL REINHARD MARX”
The name. Anybody recognize the name?
The devil is in the details but I generally agree with this. There are married Catholic priests now; these are mainly in the Eastern Rite Catholic churches, but they also include a scattering of already married clergy from other denominations who converted to Catholicism after both their marriage and ordination. And deacons are generally married.
The Latin Rite church adopted the discipline of celibacy in the Middle Ages in response to chronic problems related to money and property. The RCC traded one set of problems for another. The lack of vocations and the homosexualization of the clergy are today far greater problems than potential misappropriation of funds by married priests. The RCC could easily retain the discipline of celibacy in some orders while allowing married clergy in many roles.
That is probably true!
