Celibacy
Tuesday, January 08, 2008
32I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife.
1 Corinthians 7:32-33

You know all those progressives who think the shortage of priests would be eliminated if the discipline of celibacy was relaxed?

They're wrong. In Evangelical circles, the number one reason for a man to leave the ministry entirely is wive's issues.

Guess St. Paul might actually have known what he was talking about, after all. Fr. Hardon weighs in as well.
