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.[1]

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.[1]
