Why Priests Should Wed (1888)

By Justin Dewey Fulton

Book Overview

""Why Priests Should Wed"" is a book written by Justin Dewey Fulton and published in 1888. The book argues that priests should be allowed to marry and have families, rather than being required to remain celibate. Fulton presents a historical and theological analysis of the issue, examining the origins of celibacy in the Catholic Church and the arguments for and against it. He also discusses the practical implications of allowing priests to marry, such as increased stability and support for families, as well as potential challenges and drawbacks. The book is written in a persuasive and engaging style, drawing on both religious and secular sources to make its case. It remains a relevant and thought-provoking work on a controversial topic in the Catholic Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
