CORPUS
| “ | Replenishing the vanishing ranks of priests is only one reason to let all priest marry. Compulsory celibacy should end, it is based on the belief that women are inferior, and marriage is a second-rate way of being Christian. | ” |
| —Father Anthony Padavan, a Catholic priest banished from the priesthood for falling in love and marrying, founder of CORPUS [1] | ||
