Pope Paul VI Defends Celibacy in Encyclical
In a 13,000 word encyclical issued Friday Pope Paul VI defended the centuries old Catholic practice of priestly celibacy noting the loneliness of the vow and urging bishops and priests to accept enduring chastity. He warned against pruning communion by allowing marriage and outlined reforms to seminary screening and interim periods before ordination. The pope argued celibacy remains vital to ministry and questioned claims that it suppresses vocations, citing broader church and even Protestant vocation challenges.
