""Why Priests Should Wed"" is a book written by Justin Dewey Fulton in 1888. The book presents the argument that Catholic priests should be allowed to marry. Fulton argues that celibacy is not a requirement for priesthood and that it is harmful to the mental and physical health of priests. He also argues that allowing priests to marry would lead to a decrease in scandals and abuse within the Catholic Church. The book is a historical document that sheds light on the debates surrounding celibacy within the Catholic Church in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
