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.[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/12/paul-iby-reformist-bishop_n_573536.html Paul Iby, Reformist Bishop, Pushes Vatican To End Celibacy Requirement For Priests], cit. by Huffingtonpost.com, May 12, 2010
He would also welcome it if married men could be ordained.
