May: Current Event 3: Open letter to pope urges end to celibacy

A letter has been written to the pope to end celibacy, which is the law that forbids a priest to get married. Three women signed the letter but 40 women helped to write it. They say that they have either had a special realtionship with a priest or have had an affair with them. They think that it is a new time and calls to be revised. But the church allows a deacon to get married.

this has world importance because Catholacism is a very large world religion. it could change the entire religion. If this changes then the church might get more lenient about other things and the church might be changed for ever.
