Almost fifty years after Vatican II, many Catholic authorities still resist official Church teaching on the question. (Apparently, “Cafeteria Catholicism” reigns among “conservatives” as well.) Canon 373 of the Code of Ca- nons of the Eastern [Catholic] Churches, promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1990, asserts: “the hallowed practice of married clerics in the primitive Church and in the tradition of the Eastern Churches throughout the ages is to be held in honour.” Some authorities are inclined to suggest that the canon ap- plies only to “Eastern territories.” That is erroneous. Nowhere is that even hinted in the legislation and, more importantly, it could not be. Official Catholic teaching insists that all “rites” are equal. Orientalium ecclesiarum 3 reads: “These individual Churches, whether of the East or the West … are of equal dig- nity, so that none of them is superior to the others as regards rite and they enjoy the same rights and are under the same ob- ligations, also in respect of preaching the Gospel to the whole world (cf. Mark 16: 15) under the guidance of the Roman Pontiff.” Below I shall return to “preaching the Gospel to the whole world” and “the guidance of the Roman Pontiff.” Some have attempted to demonstrate that mandatory conti- nence after ordination – which would naturally lead to man- datory celibacy – is the authentic (“apostolic”) tradition of the Eastern Churches. That eccentric thesis has been refuted; inter alia one can consult an extensive study published on the pages 220 Peter Galadza of our own journal, Logos, in 1993 (J. Kevin Coyle, “Recent Views on the Origin of Clerical Celibacy”). If the thesis were true, millions of children born into Eastern Christian presbyte- ral families for centuries before and after the Council in Trullo (691–692 AD) were/are the result of indifference towards “au- thentic” Church tradition. (Trullo, according to proponents of the aforementioned thesis, attempted to restore the “apostolic” tradition.) For those unaware of the consequences of the disregard for optional celibacy among Eastern Catholics, the following in- formation may be helpful: First, in France, Ireland, Italy, Spain and Portugal, married Ukrainian Catholic priests are required to leave their wives – and children – in Ukraine, or other parts of Europe. (There are various “arrangements” and “exceptions” that are sometimes “negotiated,” but these simply highlight how inanity engenders deception.) The late Cardinal Lustiger insisted that he did not want to see the celibacy debate re-opened among Roman Ca- tholics in France. The presence of married Eastern Catholic priests would apparently do that. (More on this below.) Note, incidentally, that the aforementioned countries are now domi- cile for millions of Eastern Catholics forced to seek livelihoods outside
