Celibacy of priests

Celibacy of Priests..

Pope Francis in an interview by reporters of a German  newspaper, Die Zeit in Germany openly answered questions about priest celibacy.  “Celibacy can be up for discussion since it is not on the dogma or doctrine of the faith, but about the law on discipline in the church.” He said. Asked, if ever in his life he doubted the existence of God. His answer, “I too know moments of emptiness “ A believer who does not experience this remains infantile.” He added. Yet further explained, removing celibacy will not solve shortage of priests specially in far away places, that by some chance “Viri Probati” or married men of proven faith can be accepted to join the episcopate to become priest on some conditions.

Pope Urban, in the 12^th century decreed celibacy to all priests and bishops despite strong resistance from the clergies who all have families. That time Pope Alexander VI had mistresses and children. In our time will removing  celibacy offer solutions to problems of the Catholic church? Who am I? Who are we to say?
