MSNBC: Pope Francis Considering Allowing Priests to Marry

‘If you actually had priests that were married and priests that had children, you would have priests that would be able to relate to the main problems that their parishioners faced’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "Breaking news. This is fascinating, as a guy who went to a Catholic high school and admires the church, Pope Francis just announcing, Mika, and we will get more breaking news on this, that he is now considering allowing priests to marry and in so doing actually strengthen the ranks of the priests because it’s been dwindling for some time and this is something, obviously, that needs to happen for a thousand reasons. If you actually had priests that were married and priests that had children, you would have priests that would be able to relate to the main problems that their parishioners faced. This is pretty darn dramatic."
