| Description: |
As Fr. Griffin argues in this book, the ancient practice of celibacy, when lived well, helps a priest exercise his spiritual fatherhood joyfully and fruitfully. Along the way, Griffin explores: the question of optional celibacy; some pitfalls of celibate paternity; the selection and formation of candidates for celibate priesthood; why biological fathers are also called to spiritual fatherhood; the powerful impact of celibacy on the Church and the wider culture Fr. Griffin brings light and hope with a new perspective on the Church's perennial wisdom on celibacy. |
