An Australian book, Jane Anderson has a definite opinion on priestly celibacy—viz, she ’s opposed to it as a matter of principle, In this book Anderson is looking at cases of priests who have chosen to remain in the priesthood while simultaneously also entering into romantic relationships. For the most part (or in all cases? I don’t remember) these relationships included a sexual component.
It’s been a while since I’ve read the book so I don’t remember a lot of specifics about it now, although I remember it being simultaneously fascinating and frustrating.
