There is no such "news," and letting them marry wouldn't solve the problem anyway.

People don't become pedophiles because they abstain from sex. If I took a vow of celibacy tomorrow, I'd still be sexually attracted to women.

I think it would be a fine idea but you are misinformed.

There is no such news.
It is theologically impossible for a single man, once he's ordained a priest, to then marry.

Having said that, it IS possible for a married man to become an ordained priest.


<<i think it's to late now a lot of bad things have happened along the past years!!!>>

Irrelevant, for two reasons:

1) Priestly celibacy isn't part of the problem as abstinence from sex does NOT cause pedophilia.
2) Again, once a man is ordained a priest, he cannot then marry. It's theologically impossible and cannot change.


<<N/B,I'm not misinformed,they just said that they are going to consider,the priest to marry...i heard it 10 Min's ago....on t.v news>>

Yeah - TV news is NOT a bastion of theological integrity.
