Ministry and Life of Priests (EWTN)
The rich experience of the Church concerning the ministry and life of priests condensed in various documents of the Magisterium, has received in our days a new impulse thanks to the teachings contained in the post-synodal Apostolic Exhortation "Pastores dabo vobis."

The Biblical foundation for Priestly celibacy (Vatican)
For several centuries there has been much debate as to whether the obligation of celibacy for clerics in major orders (or at least that of living in continence for those who are married) is of biblical origin or whether it is based merely on ecclesiastical tradition dating back to the fourth century, since from then on, without question, legislation exists on the subject.
