True Light


Feb 19, 2020

Co-hosts Lara and Landon Coleman interview Dr. Adam DeVille, associate professor and chairman of the Department of Theology-Philosophy, University of Saint Francis (and graduate of the Sheptytsky Institute) on the topic of Married priesthood.

Drawing from his soon-to-be-released book, Dr. DeVille highlights the rich tradition of the Eastern Churches on this issue and offers precious insight that could inform the intense debate that our sister Latin Church is currently engaged in. 

Both marriage and celibacy are vocations that embrace sacrificial love and ought to mirror themselves on Christ's paschal sacrifice. Both celibate and married priesthood are precious gifts to the Church, and ought to be lived in community.
