While I am not one who will advocate for married priests (I am personally drawn to more traditional persuasions), I am also one who recognizes the legitimacy of an argument for them. The Eastern Rite Catholics have married priests, and even the Western Rite has many former Anglicans who are married converts. <BR/>But honestly, it is hard for me to advocate for married priests when the Archdiocese of St. Louis (of which I am a member) has actually begun a new building campaign at the seminary because it is overflowing with vocations. Married priests are certainly a viable option, but, in my opinion, it would be hasty to usher in such a change to the Roman Rite without first giving dioceses a chance to correct their shortage of vocations (as St. Louis has done in the last several years). Once you allow married priests, it will be nearly impossible to turn back.YoungCatholicSTLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08742831059018218047noreply@blogger.com
