A burden or a gift?
In this week's discussion with Archbishop Smith we get into the why's, the objections, and the beauty of celibacy in priesthood. We talk about problems perceived with having mandatory celibacy in the Latin Rite Catholic priesthood, and His Grace speaks to why he believes in it's immense spiritual value.
