The vow of celibacy is a matter of keeping one's word to Christ and the Church, a duty and a proof of the priest's inner maturity; it is the expression of his personal dignity.
Pope Saint John Paul II
The person who denies his own profound relationship with evil denies his own reality.
U. K. Le Guin
