ChristinaTherese Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 A follow up, since I can't reply. My question, however, was basically this: We can have married priests, but can we have married bishops? Would it ever be possible to have a married pope? (It would probably be awful to be the wife of the pope, but is it possible?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappie Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 In keeping with long tradition in both East and West, a married priest is not eligible to be ordained a bishop so cannot be Bishop of Rome hence the Pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
