• In the Light of the Law (Dr. Edward Peters) >> Kicking the can down the road   ("...But, as I and some others have been arguing for years, the real question here is not so much married clergy (for celibacy, strictly speaking, is surely a disciplinary matter) but rather non-continent married clergy in ministry.

The question can either be addressed competently and settled authoritatively, or, it can be kicked down the road to another generation...")
