There was an announcement out of the Vatican on Monday that caused me to raise an eyebrow and it came from Pope Francis and dealt with priest celibacy.
He said the temporary ban on celibacy is being re-visited. Folks, the temporary ban began 1,000 years ago. That's a long time to be in the gander pen.
Considering the lack of priests these days I would not in the least be shocked to see this rule rescinded. I did read a story about a married Protestant minister with children who converted to Catholicism and was allowed to receive the sacrament of Holy Orders. In other words, he's now a priest. Never thought of this before.
