Priests should be allowed to get married, says top Vatican official

Archbishop Charles Scicluna, who leads Malta’s Catholic Church, said the church was losing people because of its strict celibacy rules.

Scicluna said the Catholic Church had allowed priests to marry until the 12th century, and said he would like the Vatican to revert to that position

“The Vatican should consider allowing priests to marry,” says Archbishop Charles Scicluna in an interview. Pope Francis has ruled it out.

  1. There is a lot that hides behind priests not getting married arrangement and acknowledge of same sex marriages .High time reality was faced …and move forward.

  2. Those that know cannot commit themselves to serving God wholeheartedly as Ministers of the Church should remain celibate. Those who think otherwise, should also be allowed to marry. St. Paul provided guidance on the matter which should be followed.
