Description

Priestly celibacy has long been a topic of debate within the Catholic Church. This work explores the nature of priestly celibacy and its relevance in today's society, tracing the magisterium of the Church from 1917 to the pontificate of Benedict XVI.

The author argues that priestly celibacy is not solely a matter of law, but also a charism of the Holy Spirit. To address the crisis associated with celibacy, an integrated celibate formation model for seminarians is proposed, adaptable to various socio-cultural and ecclesial situations.
