Pope Hears From Married Eastern Rite Priest




An Eastern rite Catholic priest has told Pope Francis during a visit to North Macedonia that he is a better priest because he is married and has a family. The Rev. Goce Kostov, a member of the Byzantine rite Catholic Church in Skopje, delivered one of the greetings Tuesday to Francis at the end of the pope's Balkan pilgrimage. Unlike Latin rite priests, Eastern rite Catholic priests are allowed to be married. With his wife Gabriela by his side, Kostov said he was father to his family and his parish, and said the two complemented one another and brought each closer to the faith. The issue of mandatory celibacy for Latin rite priests is expected to be raised during an October meeting of bishops on the Amazon, where there aren't enough priests to go around. Two Bulgarian Orthodox Church senior leaders have publicly praised Pope Francis and his message of dialogue after one of their fellow metropolitans accused Francis of attacking Orthodoxy with his two-day visit to Bulgaria.





Metropolitan Antoniy and Metropolitan Naum of Rousse both posted positive messages about Francis' visit on their Facebook pages Tuesday. Pope Francis is seeking to encourage North Macedonia's integration into Europe following the resolution of its conflict with Greece over its name, saying greater European participation will benefit the entire region while showing respect for Macedonians' diversity. In the first-ever papal visit to the country, Francis praised North Macedonia's multi-ethnic and multi-faith culture during a meeting with government authorities at the presidential palace. Pope Francis has arrived in North Macedonia for the first-ever papal visit to the Balkan nation, seeking to encourage the recently renamed country to press ahead with efforts to integrate with European institutions. His arrival comes in the wake of the resolution of a decades-long name dispute with Greece and the election of a pro-EU president. After landing at Skopje's airport, Francis went by car - a typically small Volkswagen Jetta - for talks with outgoing President Gjore Ivanov. He is due to address government authorities and then pray at the memorial of perhaps North Macedonia's most famous native, Mother Teresa. North Macedonia's leaders are hoping Pope Francis will strongly encourage greater integration in European institutions following the resolution of a decades-long name dispute with Greece and the election of a pro-EU new president. Francis arrives in North Macedonia, a small Balkan nation of about 2.1 million people, on Tuesday in the first-ever papal visit to the country. He is coming on the second and final leg of a Balkan visit that took him first to Bulgaria. Viktor Dimovski, North Macedonia's foreign ministry state secretary, told reporters Monday that the visit was historic and comes at a crucial moment as North Macedonia seeks entry into the European Union and NATO.
