I joined the BBC to talk about Celibacy

I was asked to comment on priestly celibacy for the BBC.

I shared some of the more practical benefits of celibacy.

The one lady who spoke after me did a nice job, but she said celibacy started in the early middle ages, when in fact it began right from the beginning centuries of the Church.
