Remarks On The Celibacy Of The R. C. Clergy, Part 1 is a book written by an anonymous author in 1839. The author is identified only as ""Rev. P.P."" of a parish in County of Ireland. The book is a critique of the practice of celibacy among the Roman Catholic clergy, and argues that it is not a biblical requirement for priests to remain unmarried. The author also suggests that the celibacy requirement has negative consequences, such as encouraging hypocrisy and sexual immorality among priests. The book is part of a larger debate over the role of celibacy in the Catholic Church, and provides insight into the views of some members of the clergy during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
