married catholic priest in spain
ok, the article is in swedish from the daily swedish paper dagens nyheter, but the gist of it is that a anglosaxian priest, evans david gliwitzki, married with two children, was allowed to convert to become a roman-catholic priest.
i know religion is a big faux-pas to discuss on blogs, but i think this is great. the notion that a catholic priest should be a man who lives in celibacy just doesn't make sense to me. at all. moreover, it was something that the roman-catholic church apparently didn't mandate until the 11th centuary.
and it becomes even more interestin in light of the current pope's recent comments to the youths of the world against pre-marital sex and religious shopping.
interesting event/development.
