Maria José Atienza / Giovanni Tridente

In this interview for Omnes, Cardinal Marc Ouellet, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, affirms that celibacy is not the cause of abuse, but rather the lack of self-control and affective imbalance of some priests. He argues that celibacy is justified in a vision of faith: it is a confession of faith in the divine identity of Christ who calls, and a response to his call of love.
