Why Priests? A Failed Tradition by Garry Wills
It has no biblical justification, says a Pulitzer-winning author, and it is time the Roman Catholic Church moved back towards egalitarianism
Linda Hogan
Wills is clear in this that his target is not the 400,000 individual priests, many of whom, he acknowledges, make a significant contribution to the lives of countless millions worldwide. Rather, his focus is on the institution, which, he argues, has a flimsy biblical heritage and a dubious theological justification and is an impediment to the development of a more egalitarian Christianity.
