A lot of people are saying Eastern Catholic priests can get married, that’s not true. Married Eastern Catholic men may become deacons or priests, but if their wives die they cannot remarry without being reduced to a minor order. Both in the west and the east, once a man is ordained a cleric he cannot contract a new marriage. In the west, married men can become deacons and in rare cases priests. In the east, married men can become both deacons and priests. All of this exists in a framework that recognises the religious life to be the life of perfection and a greater state. In both east and west a man must be celibate (not married) to become a bishop.

The secular clergy do not enter the religious life, as the regular clergy do. So, for the secular clergy, who do not take religious vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, whether or not they are permitted to marry is a matter for the Church. If the Church did decide that they were free to marry, then they would not be breaking any religious vow if they did then marry. The regular clergy can never marry - they have taken religious vows which permanently exclude entering into the married state.

Do you think man’s rules will stop God from anointing any man He wants to be an apostle today? But men will stand in the way and say we should be more like Jesus and be celibate as priests.

(Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?) He did not lead a married life after becoming a disciple of Christ. A priest is In Persona Christi. He is married to the church. How can he have another wife? His heart belongs to God alone. This is why in the early church itself, priestly celibacy was made a norm. It is a gift by God to the priest and also to the church. A married man is not free to give his all to God and His church. He is pulled in all directions. It is not fair even on a natural level- to the person involved, let alone the wife and children. A priest has to put God and the church first- before himself. His life is a sacrificial one. Just as Christ whom He represents. Even in some eastern churches with married priests, only celibate men can be consecrated as bishops. I hope you made a typing error.

This is correct. If the celibacy law ever gets repealed in the West, only already married men could enter formation, with the wife having 100% veto power. Once the wife or her priest-husband dies, neither spouse can ever remarry. Those single men who enter seminary will still be bound to celibacy from the get-go. Such rules won’t apply to religious orders, just the diocesan priesthood.

If the pastor is protestant then there NOT Christian and on there way to HELL because there’s NO salvation outside the holy Catholic Church which is the ONLY CHURCH

The secular clergy do not take religious vows, as the regular clergy do. So, the secular clergy do not take religious vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. The secular clergy would break no religious vow if they were to marry. So, if the Church decided that the secular clergy were free to marry, then they would not be breaking any vow if they did so. Celibacy is considered to be a “discipline” to which a Priest is invited to agree prior to ordination. If he decides that he is not prepared to submit to that discipline, then he would not be ordained. However, for those clergy who have come into the Church through the Ordinariate, who are already married, they may be ordained and remain married. However, they would not be able to enter a religious order and take religious vows - the married state precludes the religious state entirely and this is not just a matter of discipline, but something which is inherent to the religious life.

Thank YOU SO MUCH. WHEN CLARITY SPEAKS, CHARITY IS CLEAR!!!

Even in eastern rite, marriage has to happen before ordination. In Syro Malabar Eastern rite priests can't get married.

I highly recommend the books " Apostolic Origins of Priestly Celibacy" and "From the Depths of Our Hearts" by Cardinal Sarah and Pope Emeritus Benedict. 🙏

Why do priests don’t get married, so they only have to feed a priest and not a whole family 1 Timothy 3:1-4 Qualifications for bishop The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of bishop, he desires a noble task. Therefore a bishop must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, This a bishop.

The Orthodox Church in the Quinesext Council adamantly condemned the Latins for insisting that a priest MUST be celibate. Peter was married... in fact all the disciples were... and for 6 centuries the West had married priests.... let us recall Zachariah was the high priest who was married to Elizabeth and they walked "in all the commandments of God." A priest does not have to be celibate, and this is a heresy the Catholic Church teaches today and one of the main reasons there was a schism, apart from the filioque and papal supremacy.

It's actually a matter of decision. Some come to the Catholic Church already married; some are married then become Deacons, but the marriage they are in is the only one they want. Celibacy will always be the norm in the priestly life and among Nuns and consecrated men and women. It's because the whole life is given to God and God's people.

This is a doctrine I can't get behind with the basis of Holy Scripture supporting priests getting married. St. Peter himself was married. Matthew 8:14 (ESV) "And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever." This verse indicates that Peter had a mother-in-law, implying he was married. Many other apostles were married. In 1 Corinthians 9:5, St. Paul refers to the fact that other apostles had believing wives. 1 Corinthians 9:5 (ESV) "Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?" This verse implies that other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas (Peter) had wives. St. Paul's charge to Timothy is for church leaders to be "one woman men." Here is evidence that church leaders, including bishops (overseers) and deacons, could be married. Here are a few key passages that address this topic: 1 Timothy 3:2 (ESV): "Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach." 1 Timothy 3:12 (ESV): "Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well." Titus 1:6 (ESV): "If anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination."

Yes, they can. There are tens of thousands of married Catholic priests today in literally every rite, including the Latin rite. That’s right, you heard me. The Latin right contains priests inducted through the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter from Anglicanism. The Ordinariate is part of the Latin Rite, and many Ordinariate priests have actually been transferred to ordinary Latin dioceses, where they continue to live and serve while married and fully sexually active. Because Catholic priests CAN be married, and have always been married, since the non Latin rites are ancient. Before the 1100s, married priests in the Latin rite were the norm. Before universal enforcement kicked in, they remained in existence quite commonly in the Latin Rite for centuries after. There is absolutely nothing in Catholic doctrine or the essence of the priesthood that forbids a priest from marrying, it is a mutable and changeable discipline that has not existed for the majority of Church history and desperately needs to go away. The Byzantine Catholics and Ordinariate do not have a vocations crisis.

The priest doesn't give couples counseling, but spiritual guidance. To encourage and guide you in the path of sacrificial love for your spouse, children, and your 'neighbour' (i.e. those God has put around you). Who better to show this path of love if not the man who chooses LOVE itself, sacrificing the desires of the flesh to have a heart more available to your concerns? On that same token (one could argue), how can you have a meaningful relationship with Christ in his sacred humanity since he was celibate? How can you relate to Him or Him to you? That beauty lies there, in that he loves you (each one of us) so much that he forgoes that natural good desire for spouse and family to give his heart fully to you and me. That's the point of celibacy. It also gives hope (with witness of good celibate men) that God is worth a lifetime to wait for, to belong just to Him. I'm not the kind of guy to ever comment on youtube videos (first time I have, I think). It's just that I've seen this said by many others and it saddens me. That priest has made the sacrifice for you, as Christ has. For struggles of married life per se, or to exchange ideas about married life more specifically then it makes sense to chat to other married men. Those who are living a good Christian life in particular. Writing the above with lots of love, brother. As I said, I felt compelled to address your point. Onwards and upwards !

Celibacy is complete surrender. It is holy. It will further strengthen the priestly life. Remember the holy priests of our Church. There is no need to bring new decisions in order to increase the vocation in the church. In that case, the church will have to accept many mistakes in this modern world.

Marriage is not the solution to pedophilia. You have married teachers abusing students, married fathers abusing their own daughters etc. I think we can make the case that pedophiles should not marry. If a man’s wife dies does he have to immediately seek a wife for fear of abusing his children? No. If grandma passes away, grandpa is not going to become a pedophile. Your stance is illogical.

Matthew 19 10 The disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” 11 But he said to them, “Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”

Actually there are exceptions to this rule: Byzantine, Anglican Ordinariate and Maronite Rites do have married clergy. And in the event a convert to Catholicism had been either an Anglican (Episcopal) priest or a Lutheran pastor, he can seek permission from his bishop to return to seminary for additional classes and be ordained as a Catholic priest- and these 2 denominations more often than not have married clergy!

23 of the 24 Churches sui juris which comprise the Catholic Church ordain, as a norm, married men. However if the spouse of a married Priest precedes him in death, the Priest must then adopt the discipline of celibacy for the remainder of his life. That also applies to married protestant ministers who convert to Catholicism and are ordained in the Latin Rite under the 1980 Pastoral Provision or the Anglican Ordinariate,

@@AaronGlenn88 No one has a right to be ordained. One of the reasons why the seminary is so long is so an individual can discern if they have the ability to give up everything as Christ explains in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke in order to serve the Kingdom without impediment. Relativists like you fail to recognize that and you also fail to comprehend that the ministerial Priesthood of the ordained isn't a 9-5 vocation.

Even at the Council of Nicea, St Paphnuti (himself a celibate monk) prophesied that enforcing mandatory celibacy for priests would result in massive sin. Have we not seen the fruits of this? The city of Rome has an ancient tradition of all her priests being celibate and there is no reason for that to change. Yet nor was there ever any good reason to force that pious practice, which many struggle to bare, upon the entire Church.

He may be married to the church, but he gets his sexual release from other priests. Remember, at least 10% of Roman Catholic priests are living the lavender lifestyle.

At one time he was. His wife, however, is never mentioned in Scripture and his exchange with Christ in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke are often overlooked by people like you. "Then Peter answering, said to Him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed Thee: what therefore shall we have? And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, that you, who have followed Me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of His majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for My name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting. And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be first." Matthew 19:27-30 "Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed Thee. Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting." Luke 18:28-30

Technically no Orthodox priest can marry. They must rather be married before ordination, but cannot be ordained after the diaconate. This is the case in the Eastern Catholic rites as well.
