In addition, I hope this new pope allows priests to choose celibacy or not. Nowhere in scripture is a teaching from God or Jesus Christ requiring celibacy from his disciples. It can be a choice. Forced celibacy has caused the perversions ( pedophilia) in the Catholic Church. Many individuals removed themselves from the church for that reason. Celibacy is not easy, and should not be something that a young priest should be forced to choose.
