It's Official

Lift the Ban on Marriage for Priests.

     ...Reads a Statement officially posted on the US Conference of Catholic Bishops website- from an Orthodox-Catholic Theological organization. Read http://usccb.org/news/2014/14-099.cfm

     Thank you to Fr. James Martin, SJ for pointing out the huge significance of this- which was also commented upon by the New York Times about three days ago.  But its just for the Eastern Orthodox catholics in North America- so who knew there was a ban on priests being married in the Eastern Orthodox world in North America in the first place. Small step for humanity.
