Priests Should Have The Choice Of Marriage, Archbishop Says

Jan 7 2024 Share

Maltese Archbishop Mons. Charles Scicluna has ignited a debate within the Catholic Church by asserting that priests should be given the choice to marry. In a recent statement, Scicluna told Times of Malta the need for a serious discussion on this matter, indicating that the time is ripe for reconsideration.

Acknowledging that he has raised the proposal in Vatican discussions, Scicluna clarified that the decision does not rest solely in his hands. 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.

The question of whether priests should have the freedom to marry remains a complex and divisive issue within the Catholic community. Only time will tell if the Church will reconsider its long-standing tradition.
