Priestly Celibacy: Its Scriptural, Historical, Spiritual, and Psychological Roots Peter M.j. Stravinskas

Stravinskas In this book, seven authors argue that there are many solid reasons to retain and promote the discipline of clerical celibacy in the church: biblical, historical, theological, and practical. Because the Catholic Church places unmitigated trust in the Bible as the Word of God, she turns first to scripture to see what inspired authors have to teach us.
