MILWAUKEE -- For the first time since the mid-1970s, a group of Roman Catholic priests went on record in favor of loosening rules on celibacy in the Church, according to The Associated Press.

More than 160 priests in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee signed a letter that supports letting married men join the priesthood. The letter is addressed to the subcommittee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy Dolan chairs that panel, starting in November.

Under current rules, Catholic priests must take a vow of celibacy and are forbidden to be married.
