Do you self-identify as Roman Catholic, as opposed to Catholic?

For Catholics the concept of married priests is not strange or new. For Roman Catholics perhaps it is strange or new.

We are always Catholic first - Roman Catholic is secondary.

Celibate priests is not dogma and it never has been.

The article was about the RCC, so yes, that is what I was talking about. Don’t call it dogma if you don’t wish, but it is a 1200 year tradition that every Priest I’ve run into wholeheartedly agrees with.
