Viewing the Sixty Minutes segment on married priest on Sunday provided insight on some ideals about the Catholic Church that I had been pondering. I had no idea until wactching this segment that there were married priest and in fact thought that this was impossible. I too was one who assumed that it was written in the Bible somewhere that a Catholic Priest could not be married. I assumed that it was immoral for a Priest to be married and to have a family. This assumption came from the fact that I was taught that Catholic Priest had to take a vow of celibacy. However, after viewing the segment and during further research and discovery, I was enlightened on this subject and also provoked into deeper thought. If a Catholic Priest is married perhaps he would or could be better equipped to counsel parishioners on family issues. Additionally, it is my belief that some of the sex abuse acts that have come out in recent months are a direct extension of the vow of celibacy and not acts of violence.
