RULES ON CELIBACY
Some Easing Forecast (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter— Copyright) ROME, June 16. The Roman Catholic Church may in future be more liberal in allowing priests to marry in certain cases, but only provided they renounce their ministry and are reduced to lay status, an influential Jesuit review forecast yesterday. Father Giuseppe de Rosa, writing in the review “Civita Cattolica,” said it was “useless and dangerous to expect changes or short or long-term mitigations” in the traditional celibacy rules for priests in the Latin rites of the Roman Catholic Church. But “a more liberal use of dispensation from celibacy, with reduction to the lay state, might be possible in the future in well defined cases and with great caution.”
