History of Sacerdotal Celibacy, Vol. 2 of 2 Vols.

HISTORY OF SACERDOTAL CELIBACY IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, Vol. 2 of 2 Vols., by Henry Charles Lea. One of the greatest Historians that the United States has produced was Henry Charles Lea, He was a wealthy man and spared no expense to dig out the facts of every subject he researched. This set concerns the Celibacy of Catholic Priests who take a vow of Celibacy in order to become priests - and we all know how much trouble that has caused, and is causing. This detailed history of Celibacy gives the history of married priests in the church before the dogma of Celibacy was enacted and enforced. I can tell you, it is not dull reading.
