Subject: Priesthood and marriage |
Bible Note: Makarios, You may be surprised to learn that there are married Catholic priests. And that celibacy is a discipline which can be changed, not a doctrine of the Catholic faith. As for Peter. Scripture does not make it clear whether or not his wife was still alive when he began his ministry. Emmaus |
