Great! With a poll like that, the Church should just fold up like a cheap lawn chair! What was the Church thinking over the last 2000 years? And letting the priest have children with their "partner"? Wow, such generosity! Oh, wait... did they mean a male or female partner? Perhaps they mean homosexual partnerships too! There will be dancing in the streets! But there's more. These priest-couples should contracept, in accord with the UNFPA, so not to burden the Austrian government Aren't we the enlightened ones!
We faithful Catholics are so backwards in our thinking. The Astrians are truly enlightened!
