Doesn’t matter what pope or other bad bishops do. This is Jesus’ Church and we follow Jesus!
At mass, I don’t care if the priest is a great orator or he stutters, I don’t care if the ministrant priest has flaws (he WILL - he’s human) - for me the critical part is that we have the HIGH PRIEST - Jesus there, present on the altar as High Priest and sacrifice.
Though the thing about the priests is a discipline - and only in the Latin rite of the Church. The Syro-malabar, the Maronites etc. all have married priests.
In the Western world this was after people looked at the holiness of monks and asked for the same
ABSOLUTELY!
I wouldn’t care if Priests were able to marry.
It does NOT change the Catholic Church one way or the other.
