The soon-to-be retired archbishop of New York, Cardinal Edward Egan, says the idea of lifting the mandatory celibacy policy for priests is “a perfectly legitimate discussion.”
“I think it’s going to be looked at, and I am not so sure it wouldn’t be a good idea to decide on the basis of geography and culture not to make an across-the-board determination,” the cardinal told Fred Dicker, state editor of the N.Y. Post and host of the Fred Dicker Show on 1300 Talk Radio in Albany.
