He recently revealed that the Church’s 11th-century celibacy rule was only a temporary prescription, and there was no contradiction for a priest to marry.
According to him, celibacy in the western church is not eternal like priestly ordination, and it has merely been a discipline.
Pope Francis added that everyone in the Eastern church is married, and they took that step by choice.
His words, “There is no contradiction for a priest to marry. Celibacy in the western Church is a temporary prescription.”
“It is not eternal like priestly ordination, which is forever, whether you like it or not. On the other hand, celibacy is a discipline.”
“In fact, everyone in the Eastern Church is married. Or those who want to. There they make a choice. Before ordination there is the choice to marry or to be celibate.”
“Sometimes one goes to a wedding and it seems more like it’s a social reception and not a sacrament.”
“When young people say forever, who knows what they mean by forever.”
