Ed Pentin (EWTN) in 2020: Door is "still open to ordaining married men"; Synod Secretary Cardinal Michael Czerny: Questions "will continue to be debated, discussed, discerned, prayed over, and when mature presented to the appropriate authority the decision.” “These are decisions that can be made in a diocese, in a conference, and decisions made here."

St. Paphnutius, Defender of Married Clergy During the Council of Nicea

Thank you to this revered Deacon

Thank you to this deeply revered & beloved Deacon (@ProtecttheFaith ) for acknowledging concern about lack of reverence by defenders of mandated celibacy towards married priests. Defenders of celibacy may be committing sins against consecrated persons.
(Hope he becomes a priest.) https://t.co/QoqUWF4RRd

  • The Latin-Rite Church of the 20th & 21st Centuries authorized the return of married priests, beginning with Pope Pius XII who gave permission for married Roman Catholic priests to serve in active ministry.
