Father Cantalamessa on Celibacy

Dear Fathers:
 
In February, I attended a symposium on celibacy and priesthood at Notre Dame University.  Attached is the fine talk given by Father Rainiero Cantalamessa who often gives retreats to the papal household.  In light of Deacon Mauricio's ordination to the priesthood, I thought this might be a timely article for you to read and review.  Many Blessings.
