This is a post received on Monday and sent by Joyce2. It was posted on the obituary blogpost on Joe Bergin.
Again thank you for continuing to "own", by recalling them with affection and respect, those of the Dominican Order who chose to get married.
It is tragic that the church authorities continue to impose celibacy on those who have a vocation to priesthood and a vocation to marriage.
I am saddened to hear of Joe's death, but he lived with courage and love, that will not die. I hope his memories are published.
It is consoling to know through your blog that priests who married continued to have a profound positive influence on others, continued to bring them closer to Christ. God bless you.
