Reviews
The first notable look at the phenomenon of married Episcopal priests who were admitted to the Catholic priesthood...The volume is destined to become a 'tour-de-force' on the topic. --Anthony D'Arco, Managing Director, National Federation of Priests' Councils An important and intriguing look at an under-reported and under-appreciated development in post-Vatican II Catholic life. --George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center, Washington DC A fascinating insider look at a reality most Catholics are only faintly aware of within their own church. Sullins tells a gripping story in its own right, but one that also has important implications for the future of the Catholic priesthood. --John L. Allen Jr., Associate Editor of the Boston Globe and Crux A fascinating study that answers such questions as: why are married priests becoming Catholic now? What are their wives like? Why celibacy for Catholic priests? How do married priests and celibate priests compare? Sullins is a very civilized writer, and presents his material with admirable fairness. --Michael Novak, author of On Two Wings: Humble Faith and Common Sense at the American Founding
Sullins's findings are quite interesting, even a bit surprising Recommended. --CHOICE The first notable look at the phenomenon of married Episcopal priests who were admitted to the Catholic priesthood...The volume is destined to become a 'tour-de-force' on the topic. --Anthony D'Arco, Managing Director, National Federation of Priests' Councils An important and intriguing look at an under-reported and under-appreciated development in post-Vatican II Catholic life. --George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center, Washington DC A fascinating insider look at a reality most Catholics are only faintly aware of within their own church.
