Eastern Christians allow for birth control (in marriage) and married clergy. It would not be that much of a stretch for the Pope to claim he was making sure Christianity was becoming more uniform with the older eastern churches who are not liberal by any means.

I find it insane that Irish Catholic clergy are not allowed to marry but eastern Greek rite Catholics in the Ukraine or Lebanon can have married clergy. It literally makes no sense.
