Evangelization: December 2004 Archives

The link is to a press release on the Diocese of Scranton's website. They have yet to post the letter in full.

“The church has always taught — and I teach here — that we need to find our happiness and holiness in a commitment to the chastity lived out in marital love or the chastity of celibacy lived out either in the consecrated life or the life of a single lay person in the world. These are the two paths to happiness and eternal life. There are no others.”

While some may believe that other subjects take priority, Bishop Martino stressed that

“chastity is a virtue for our times, and it does take priority. That should be clear, for instance, in the wake of the scandalous events in our own church as well as those in secular society.”

Scranton's diocesan newspaper is, incidentally, called "The Catholic Light."

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
