Clerical celibacy
Bishop Iby is convinced the Catholic church should drop its celibacy requirement for priests. It should be up to priests to decide whether they want to live a celibate life. "It should be at the discretion of every priest whether to live in voluntary celibacy or in a family," Die Presse quoted Iby as saying.
He would also welcome it if married men could be ordained.
Ordination of women
Bishop Iby also said that eventually the ordination of women should be considered.
