At the Synod
Zenit reported briefly on the question of ordaining married men to the priesthood. Cardinal Scola of Venice shot down the idea quickly, citing the tired old arguments.
"The cardinal considered it superfluous to reiterate "the profound theological motives which have led the Latin Church to unite the conferring of ministerial priesthood to the charism of celibacy."
... and overlooking the fact that nobody has suggested celibacy should die out.
And is the Latin Church really responsible for governing the charism of celibacy? I thought it was the Holy Spirit.
