Best advice,do what is done in the Eastern Rites.

And if married priesthood becomes an option, how many young men will choose it over celibacy? Many seminarians see celibacy not as an intrinsic value but simply part of the price of becoming a priest. Given the choice, they will choose marriage

The question is, will more heterosexual men consider it?

It's my view that the status quo practically DEMANDS a largely homosexual Latin Rite priesthood.

There are heterosexual men who are granted the gift of celibacy to devote 100% to others instead of a family. But there are certainly not enough of them to staff all the parishes in the world with even a single priest, never mind the numbers necessary to promote and sustain a healthy religious culture.

So, the device of accepting, tolerating, and now almost promoting a homosexual priesthood has been an alternative. Most would agree, I think, that this has been a failure.

Like the two previous synods, the results were in before they met.

Marxist type manipulaton at it’s best.

Flash: Pope Frances (intended “e”) announced the purchase of Brigham Young University from the Mormon Church. He will rebrand the institution as Bring-em Young University.

Dear Western Catholics:

If you want married priests as a common practice in your country, OPEN YOUR WALLETS.
