From article "Pope says married men could be ordained- if world's bishops agree," Tablet, here in 2014:
Last September the Vatican Secretary of State, then-Archbishop Pietro Parolin – who was then Apostolic Nuncio to Venezuela – answered a question put to him by El Universal newspaper by stating that
priestly celibacy “is not part of church dogma and the issue is open to discussion because it is an ecclesiastical tradition”.
“Modifications can be made, but these must always favour unity and God’s will,” he said.
“God speaks to us in many different ways. We need to pay attention to this voice that points us towards causes and solutions, for example the clergy shortage.”
