This Is What People Think Of Priests Getting Married

This Is What People Think Of Priests Getting Married
Jan 9 2024 Share

We asked our Instagram followers the currently hot question as well – do they agree with the prospect of priests getting married?

This comes after Archbishop Charles Scicluna expressed his sentiments about the subject, igniting a debate within the Catholic Church. 

The Catholic Church has long upheld the doctrine that priests should remain celibate, a stance that has faced ongoing scrutiny in recent years.

The debate over allowing priests to marry has been a persistent topic within the Church, with varying opinions on the matter. 

While the Church argues that celibacy allows priests to fully dedicate themselves to their religious duties, critics contend that it may contribute to issues such as a shortage of clergy.
