The site also says quoting a Cardinal who is a lifelong friend of Pope Francis.
"LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - As it stands now, Catholic priests take a vow of celibacy and cannot be married. The Catholic church simply does not accept divorce, and anyone divorced, who then remarries or starts a sexual relationship with a new person, is committing adultery under Catholic law.
"He said, these were his priorities as Pope. The first of all is to change the rules for divorced couples," claims Crespo on his conversation with Francis. "The second was to eliminate the law of celibacy. He said it was not part of the doctrine of the church. It was started more than 1,000 years ago by a pope, and he considers it archaic, an antiquity which needs to be reconsidered."
"He thinks God made everyone to live in family, including priests."
Well good for him. I'm not surprised, he has very liberal views. Only thing is he has to battle the old cardinals with their antiquated ideas who have so much power.
