"Celibacy in the Western Church is a temporary prescription, it is not eternal." Therefore, it can be revised. This was stated by Pope Francis in a long interview with Daniel Hadad, for the Argentine portal Infoba and, 10 years after the election of Bergoglio to the throne of Peter. "In reality in the Catholic Church there are married priests: the whole Eastern rite is married. All. The whole oriental rite. Here in the Curia, the Pope explained, we have one - I met him today - who has a wife and a son. There is no contradiction for a priest to be able to marry. Celibacy in the Western Church is a temporary prescription: I do not know if it is resolved in one way or another, but it is temporary in this sense; It is not as eternal as priestly ordination, which is forever, like it or not. Whether you leave or not is another matter, but it is forever. Celibacy, on the other hand, is a discipline", added the Pontiff.
