Roman Catholic Church history - Popes and priests in the Roman Catholic Church were no longer allowed to marry starting in the 11 Century, and priestly celibacy was required.
Today, if you look, there are married Catholic priests, married with children, coming to the Roman Catholic Church from the Episcopal church, a pastoral provision from the late Pope John Paul II.
What do you think? Do you think Roman Catholic Priests should be allowed to marry again as it's part of Church history?
