Would you rather me quote Patheos?

Does that make you more warm and comfy on your high horse?

Sure...if Deacon Greg's source was something other than the Bitter Pill...

[markomalley]

Don’t get me wrong...it is not a doctrinal change, as the Churches of the East have done this forever as did the Latin Church for 1,000 years. It is a discipline change. And if he wants input and agreement from the various bishops’ conferences (who would be stuck with administering this and providing for the families of the married priests), then all well and good.

But sourcing ANYTHING from the Bitter Pill? ANYTHING? That is like asking MSNBC for neutral news about The Won.

Patheos is very left-wing from everything I've seen there over the years.

There are risks and rewards to married pastors/priest.

First of all, you will have to support the priest’s family. That can get a bit expensive. And he will not be able to cover the amount time a single one can.

Still, it will help in some places. You have a greater pool of canidates for the priesthood.
