+ | *'''Unmarried priests can focus entirely on God, Church.''' [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A31091-2004Nov6.html Andrea Lemieux. "Should Roman Catholic Priests Be Allowed to Marry?". Washington Post. November 7, 2004]: "Roman Catholic priests should not be allowed to be married. They are to be Christ's earthly representatives, to live as He did, and that cannot be done with a wife in tow. When a priest takes his vows, he consecrates his life completely to God and forsakes all earthly attachments. A man cannot serve two masters, and it would be far too easy to follow a wife's wishes over God's." | ||

"Should Roman Catholic Priests Be Allowed to Marry?". Washington Post. November 7, 2004]: "I personally love having a non-married priesthood. I never have to worry about whether I am taking away from a child's time, or a wife's time, if I call up with an emergency." | *'''Priests do not worry about sacrificing family life for God.'''
