I can’t say I see anything wrong with him switching to a practice that condones what he is trying to do. I get sick of people saying and trying to work to change the Catholic rule on priests being celibate when there are other flavors of Christianity which have no problems with married clergy.

It’s a discipline and it should be changed. A lot of good guys are kept out of the consecreated life because of it and it has allowed cover for a lot of perverts.

Most of the early popes had wives and families of their own. If married clergy was good enough then it should be good enough now.
