Boston Archdiocese editorial questions celibacy policy
The Pilot editorial asks if allowing priestly celibacy to be optional might reduce scandals and whether the priesthood attracts more homosexual men. It notes the New Testament favors celibacy but argues there is confusion among Americans and warns that celibacy changes alone are not a cure. The piece, by Monsignor Peter V. Conley, calls for broader discussion and potential screening ideas while maintaining no final stance.
