Pope Francis
The mandate of celibacy for the priests of this world should be abolished! Priests should be able to decide whether they want to fulfill their duties as celibates or in the state of marriage. Married priests should also be able to return to their duties if they wish to do so.
Priežastis
Our beloved priest of Brigels, GR (Switzerland) was honest enough to openly disclose his relationship with a woman. Few of the people in the parishioners would have had a problem with him living this relationship openly. God himself, after all, created humans with their emotional needs and sexuality and declared that it was good (see Gen. 1:31).
Therefore, there is a question of conscience for all of us: Can we, as baptised Christians, allow that qualified, eager priests get suspended, having to abandon their parishes and endangering their own livelihood for the sole reason of failing under the heavy burden of celibacy? Won't God ask us one day: Why would you allow that?
