Argument: Church should maintain tradition of celibacy

Issue Report: Should Catholic priests be allowed to marry?

Support

R.N. Lentejas Jr. “Debate: Priests should be permitted to marry”. Helium: “I believe that priests in the Latin Church should live a celibate life to maintain the rich tradition of the Church. It has been a universal notion from time immemorial until today and until the future that priests are celibates for the sake of the Kingdom of God. This is a universal understanding from across the globe unique to Catholic priests alone, because there are priests in other Christian churches who are actually married. There exists among them (Catholic priests) a universal concept of brotherhood, surpassing the many barriers of race, culture, ethnic origin, economic standing, and many others.”
