The Church is already back to it's roots. You wish for the Church to embrace protestant innovations popular in the 16th century which, to date, aren't doing very well today if you look at the state of Protestantism in the West today.Tancredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015531337154301560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-49563231735080440122016-02-23T07:58:10.263-08:002016-02-23T07:58:10.263-08:00p.s.s. we the church people need to vote,,and on ...p.s.s. we the church people need to vote,,and on this internet we get no where!! i suggest we all write to our dear pope francis and cardinal parolin and tell them that our church is in need to go back sooooon,,, TODAY!!!!! to it's ''original roots''....''optional celibacy''!!!! now...we will take,,,ACTION!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-16718746727906286252016-02-23T07:47:52.688-08:002016-02-23T07:47:52.688-08:00P.s.s. i just re read your article above,,it just...P.s.s. i just re read your article above,,it just doesn't make sense!! our secretary of state cardinal parolin stated on the 6th of february...that mandatory pagan celibacy was going to be changed...to....''optional celibacy''...it looks like they have turned over our dear cardinal's words above!!! i'm with so many behind our dear pope of hope francis and our dear secretary of state...cardinal parolin. please do not allow those politician bishops to change your mind on our...''optional celibacy''. yes,,,jesus was celibate....he was a man...but also...GOD!! jesus chose ''married disciples''..and they were our first..''christian priests'',,,,jesus...is our high priest. jesus never demanded...celibacy from his disciples....i hope your eponymous flower...keeps this in mind!!! no more talk about bringing in...''optional celibacy''....we need ACTION!! we need it to become...LAW....TODAY!!!! thanks!!! maria patalanoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-34610649674515815952016-02-23T07:14:19.125-08:002016-02-23T07:14:19.125-08:00Hello!!! i'n not afraid to say my name....bec...Hello!!! i'n not afraid to say my name....because i have commented so many times on...''optional celibacy'' i find this article a big piece of junk!! when are they going to stop this...pagan...,man made....hypocorisy,,,stray jacket....mandatory celibacy???? it's high time!!! i thank the lord for our dear cardinal parolin and our dear pope of hope...francis..for having an open mind and heart on this...important issue!!! mandatory celibacy was brought in by some pope centuries ago...only for ''politics''...shameful!!! and look where are church is at today...it is completely destroyed!! mandatory celibacy..has hidden so many dirty sexual secrets and we have so many perverted priests sexually molesting innocent youths. many perverted men go into the piresthood so they can get their dirty hands on,,innocent youths. and so many priests....normal ones....being human men...have a girfriend on the side...living double lives. for heaven sakes...a priest is a human man...not a ''robot'' which the church expects them to be!!! it's about time our church goes back to its' original teachings from our first christian priests....our dear disciples...whom were...''happily married''...even our dear first pope saint peter!!! no one is saying they are abolishing...celibacy....it will become....''optional celibacy''...so a priest can choose wether to be ''celibate'' or be married''. and let me tell you....it's the ''woman'' that makes the man!!!! a priest will be even a better priest with his wife by his side,,,supporting him!!!!!! so,,,enough talk about bringing in...optional celibacy....now we need to see....ACTION!!! so many of us are anxiously waiting for...''OPTIONAL CELIBACY''!!!!!!!!

Christ’s bride is his Body, the Church makes sense that the unmarried candidates be celibate upon becoming priests and those married be continent upon being ordained as it was in early Church practice and law.<br /> <br />It is more than just discipline.<br /> <br />It has everything to do with the nature of the priesthood and those advocating for married priests are the ones who know very well its importance in the life of the Church.<br /> <br />Further reading: Francis Speaks, Scalfari Transcribes, Brandmüller Shreds |http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/<br />*<br />Point even missed by the likes of Fr.
