Without fail, one of the first things we are asked when we introduce ourselves as aspirants of the priesthood is, “Wait, you do know priests can’t have sex or get married, right?”
The first time we were asked, we were taken by surprise; however, after having come to grips with it, we began to notice that this question comes from a lack of understanding of a reality foreign to ordinary life, namely celibacy.
In this episode, we do two things:
1) We discuss some of the misconceptions surrounding celibacy
2) We talk about what its purpose is and why such a reality exists in the Church
FYI: Anticipate sarcasm, humor, and, only slightly, condescension (mostly from Max, but...)
