Our Description

General Description:

Understand (and love!) the Church's beautiful teaching on clerical celibacy

Celibacy is one of God's greatest gifts to the world... and also one of the most misunderstood.

With clear, insightful reflections, Fr. Apostoli provides a penetrating look at this valuble discipline based on his 40 years as a priest, spiritual director, and seminary teacher. Several bishops have made this highly acclaimed work required reading for their seminarians.

Fr. Apostoli discusses:
-Why so many in the secular world reject celibacy without truly knowing what they're rejecting
-Celibacy in the Old and New Testaments, as well as throughout Church history
- Why priestly sex abuse is not caused by celibacy
-How celibacy is a perfect expression of Christian love
-How celibacy can bring true, lasting happiness and joy
-The many fruits and gifts that come from being celibate

Whether you are a young adult exploring a religious vocation, are already ordained, or are a member of the laity who wants to understand what the Church teaches and why, this inspiring book reveals a clear and beautiful picture of celibacy.
