I think i'm going to go with i'm for it, as some will inevitably want to divorce, and I just want to see where this leads tbh

That would be interesting to see, especially since the Catholic church does not allow divorce.

They cover up child rape, they're not gonna excommunicate divorce I don't think

[meranii_raushu]

I don't see a reason why they shouldn't, BUT (being an ex-catholic) I also don't feel bad for priests in any way, if these are the arbitrary rules they've chosen to follow.

mte. They should work on combatting issues of abuse and discrimination in church, not just try to make it more pleasant to be a priest to encourage new ones to join. But Catholic church is a disease (and people who don't live in a country where it's almost impossible to get an abortion and where we get terrorists trying to blow up people at Pride better not try to @ me for saying this).

I don't see the problem? I feel most non-Catholic priests are married, right?

[soul_amazinn]

I don't really give a fuck tbqh 🤷‍♂️

[angriest_girl]

If nuns can, sure. And no, I wouldn’t marry one. I wouldn’t marry anyone who was religious.

[kels]

Catholic nuns can't get married, though.

[angriest_girl]

That’s my point. Let the nuns do it too.

[kels]

Ah, sorry, I misread your meaning. I agree, they should both be allowed to marry.
