Francis: Wishy Washy About Celibacy
“Celibacy is a gift that the Latin (sic!) Church preserves, yet it is a gift that, to be lived as a means of sanctification, calls for healthy relationships,” Francis said in a February 17 speech to 400 bishops and priests at a three-day Vatican conference on the priesthood.
Without friends and without prayer [notice the order], celibacy can become an unbearable burden and a counter-witness to the very beauty of the priesthood, Francis went on. His remarks come after leading European bishops like Munich Cardinal Marx called on abolishing celibacy.
For Francis, as for any politician or liar, words mean nothing and his "celibacy-is-gift" could mean anything.
