In an interview published Thursday with Germany's Die Zeit, Francis stressed that removing the celibacy rule is not the answer to the Catholic Church's priest shortage. But he expressed an openness to studying whether so-called "viri probati" — or married men of proven faith — could be ordained. "We must consider if viri probati is a possibility. Then we must determine what tasks they can perform, for example, in remote communities," he was quoted as saying. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/pope-open-to-studying-ordination-of-married-men-as-priests/ar-AAo2ZBW?OCID=ansmsnnews11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another attempt to deflect attention from the real issues. 1. The priesthood of the RCC is bogus, since all believers belong to a Royal Priesthood. 2. The Bible is crystal clear that pastor/elder/bishops are to be married men. 3. Women are excluded from preaching, teaching, or usurping authority within the local church.

Ezra we are not talking about women we're talking about men. Does the RCC allow women to preach,teach,ect ect I think not. So what's the point of adding the last point you made. There are plenty of threads meant to discuss that. This thread is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Pope has also been approached on the matter of women becoming priests, and there is actually a group of female Catholic "priests" defying the RCC. http://arcwp.org/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis seems like the Pope for the New Age & NWO. IMO we will. The pope has already exposed himself several times. People just don't want to believe it.

I just wanted to know what people thought about the pope thinking about allowing married men to be ordained as priest. I think that that's how it should have been from the beginning. But then again he is just open to diccusing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I think the RCC has much bigger fish to fry rather than "being open"to discussing such a petty issue as this.....they may start with a discussion about calling priests "father" too & Ezra also mentioned " The priesthood of the RCC is bogus, since all believers belong to a Royal Priesthood. " Quote Matthew 23:9King James Version (KJV) 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. I really don't have an opinion nor would I lend much thought about what the pope is open to,we have much more important things to focus on imo For Starters "JESUS",the harvest is plentiful,the laborers are few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
