Today we welcome Dr. Lawrence Feingold, to discuss the practice of celibacy in the Catholic Priesthood. Dr. Feingold presents a brief history of celibacy, its origins, its meaning, and its spiritual fruitfulness, and answers some of the typical objections. We talk about how celibacy is a true treasure in the Catholic Church, which, with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, we hope will never be abandoned by the Church.
