Pope paves the way for married men to become Catholic priests: Controversial move to tackle shortage is likely to outrage traditionalists

Pope Francis is considering allowing married men join the priesthood
The men of proven faith - viri probati - might become priests in remote regions
The married priests will not be expected to adhere to church rules on celibacy
Pope Francis is considering plans to allow married men to ordain as Catholic priests in remote areas where there are chronic shortages of clergy.

The pontiff is considering proposals raised by bishops in Brazil who complain some areas are only administered by a priest a couple of times a year.

Under the proposals, married men of proven faith, known as 'viri probati' by the church, will be able to join the priesthood.

Gradually there will total reformation of the Catholic Church. After all these laws are man made and can also be altered to reflect contemporary realities of life.

Its only a matter of time though.
