A poll conducted by EmoClick among members of the major Faith based Social Networking Sites indicates a considerable majority of the 28,288 Internet participants agree the Catholic Church should allow Catholic priests to marry if they so desire.
The question was: "¿Do you believe the Catholic Church should allow priests to Marry?"
The results of the poll required reveal a clear divergence of opinion with the requirement of celibacy by the Catholic Church. A total of 18,561 visitors voted in favor of lifting the rule, and only 5,727 voted in favor of preserving the traditional requirement.
