据报道,在比利时安特卫普的约翰·邦尼主教宣布他打算敦促蒂冈到2028年允许已婚男性被任命为神父. 他指出此事是因为越来越少的神职人员. Belgian Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp has announced his intention to urge the Vatican by 2028 to permit the ordination of married men as priests, citing a worsening shortage of clergy. 对于教宗的单身生活, 这项政策挑战了天主教会几个世纪以来所要求的原则. The move challenges the Catholic Church’s centuries-old requirement of clerical celibacy, a doctrine that would require a papal decision to change. 博尼以他的进步观点而闻名, 他通过公开信提出了这一呼吁, 强调需要适应降低的牧师职业. Bonny, known for his progressive views, made the call in a public letter, emphasizing the need to adapt to declining priestly vocations. 任何改变都会面临重大的神学和制度性阻力. The Vatican has not yet responded, and any change would face significant theological and institutional resistance.
