Married Priests in the Catholic Church
Author: Adam A. J. DeVille
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 0268200114
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
These essays offer a historically rigorous dismantling of Western claims about the superiority of celibate priests. Although celibacy is often seen as a distinctive feature of the Catholic priesthood, both Catholic and Orthodox Churches in fact have rich and diverse traditions of married priests. The essays contained in Married Priests in the Catholic Church offer the most comprehensive treatment of these traditions to date. These essays, written by a wide-ranging group that includes historians, pastors, theologians, canon lawyers, and the wives and children of married Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox priests, offer diverse perspectives from many countries and traditions on the subject, including personal, historical, theological, and canonical accounts. As a collection, these essays push especially against two tendencies in thinking about married priesthood today. Against the idea that a married priesthood would solve every problem in Catholic clerical culture, this collection deromanticizes and demythologizes the notion of married priesthood. At the same time, against distinctively modern theological trends that posit the superiority, apostolicity, and “ontological” necessity of celibate priests, this collection refutes the claim that priestly ordination and celibacy must be so closely linked. In addressing the topic of married priesthood from both practical and theoretical angles, and by drawing on a variety of perspectives, Married Priests in the Catholic Church will be of interest to a wide audience, including historians, theologians, canon lawyers, and seminary professors and formators, as well as pastors, parish leaders, and laypeople. Contributors: Adam A. J. DeVille, David G. Hunter, Dellas Oliver Herbel, James S. Dutko, Patrick Viscuso, Alexander M. Laschuk, John Hunwicke, Edwin Barnes, Peter Galadza, David Meinzen, Julian Hayda, Irene Galadza, Nicholas Denysenko, William C. Mills, Andrew Jarmus, Thomas J. Loya, Lawrence Cross, and Basilio Petrà.

Book Description
Excerpt from Why Should Priests Wed? This book would never, in all probability, have been published, were it not for the recent appearance of an immoral and untruthful work compiled by a Protestant minister, who has plenty of capital at his hack to circulate his slanderous brochure. Therefore this task was undertaken, in the cause of truth and morality, and without the slightest suggestion from any ecclesiastic. The subject of clerical celibacy has been many times handled by priests and laymen who have been as distinguished for their learning as they have been remarkable for their piety. In these pages will be found a clear, concise statement of the case. We have not written the book for controversialists, or for any particular class in the community, but for the public generally. Our object has been to satisfy inquirers who have not the leisure or the opportunity to peruse bulky volumes. Unlike our opponents, we have given our authorities for every statement we have made, and we have asserted nothing at second hand. Time and again the teachings of the Catholic Church have been reviled and maliciously misrepresented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.
