Pope’s quotes: Married priests
A quote from Pope Francis:
“The Catholic Church has married priests — Greek Catholics, Coptic Catholics, those of oriental rites. Celibacy is not a question of dogma, but rather a rule of life that I greatly appreciate, as I believe it is a gift for the Church. But, since it is not a dogma of faith, the door is always open.”
