Cardinal O’Brien Wants Married Priests
otremer6 Fri Feb 22, 2013 4:03 pm
The Scottish Catholic leader, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, has said he would be happy for priests to be able to marry. Many priests struggle to cope with celibacy and should be able to marry and have a family, he added, in advance of a trip to Rome where he will help elect the next pope.
O'Brien told the BBC: "I'd be very happy if others had the opportunity of considering whether or not they could or should be married. It's a free world and I realise many priests have found it very difficult to cope with celibacy as they lived out their priesthood, and felt the need of a companion, of a woman, to whom they could get married and raise a family."
O'Brien, 74, stood down from some frontline duties in the Roman Catholic church in Scotland last year due to his age.
