Father Michael Garanzini, the chancellor of Loyola
University Chicago and newly named member of the Chicago Board of
Education, says it's time Catholic priests be allowed to marry. “I think it would be healthy. I used to say, 'Well, it will change but probably not in my lifetime.' And then Pope Francis came along, and what I see him doing is opening the avenues for discussion,” he told me.
Prior to our conversation, Garanzini spoke to about 40 members of Chicago's business and social communities at a private gathering. Broadcaster Bill Kurtis moderated the Q&A event. Garanzini says the issue is likely to come up during an October bishops' conference in Rome.
