Comment & Debate
Adrian Ryan. “Should Catholic priests be allowed to marry?”. Times Online, Comment. October 11, 2005: “Celibacy is an unnatural state. How can a priest be expected to advise on the complexities of a normal marital relationship when he himself is utterly ignorant? It is only natural that a priest would want to marry, have a family and experience the love, affection, and fulfillment that marriage can bring. It is high time that the Church recognised and encouraged it. Adrian Ryan, Ardara, Ireland.”
