Why don't priests get married? Let's talk about it!

When people argue for priestly marriage, it's commonly coming from one of three places: 1) allowing it would solve the vocation crisis, 2) married priests would be more relatable, and 3) some married men do already become priests.

Today Fr. David Michael Moses addresses these three reasons and explains why he loves being a celibate priest.

@FatherDavidMichael was ordained in 2019 and is now the parochial vicar at Christ the Good Shepherd in Spring, Texas. He enjoys writing music and his “Concerts for Life” have collectively raised over $1 million dollars to assist women in crisis pregnancies. Fr. David Michael is the founder of the Pilgrim Rosary project and is also active on social media where he shares stories from priestly life.
