Hi, guys —

I want to know your opinion about this topic because we will be having a debate.

Celibacy: Should Catholic priests remain celibate?

Thank-you,

Ryan Mueden

Hi Ryan,

This is a common question; it's even in our searchable knowledge base.

There are a lot of quick answers there, so give it a try.

I searched the knowledge base for you and found these web postings that should answer your question:

And most importantly check out what the very first Christians said on this issue on my other web site dedicated to the Early Church Fathers. May sure you check out how to use this site.

Hope this helps,

Mike
