"Exception" to Norm for Older, Catholic Married Men: Married Priest Fr. Dwight Longenecker

Excerpt: The reason I was permitted to be ordained is that celibacy for priests is a discipline of the church, not a doctrine. That is why exceptions can be made and the rule could be changed.

Pope Francis's current suggestion is that an exception might also be made for older, married Catholic men to be ordained.
