Alumnus Priest Discusses New Book in Zenit Interview
“Jesus Christ promised great rewards to the disciples who would leave all things, including marriage and the family, in order to follow Him,” says Rev. Gary B Selin (’89). “Jesus Himself was poor, celibate and obedient to the Father’s will. Likewise, the priest seeks to imitate Jesus in these ways through his priestly ministry and life.”
An assistant professor and the formation director at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver, Fr. Selin is the author of the newly released Priestly Celibacy: Theological Foundations, published by The Catholic University of America Press. In a recent interview with the Zenit news agency, Fr. Selin remarked, “The collective ignorance among Catholics of the scriptural, patristic, and theological foundations for priestly celibacy is widespread.” Yet he is hopeful that his scholarly work, will help “enable the faithful to form their minds about celibacy according to the teaching of the Church, rather than according to the relentless secularism of the media.”
