BBC NEWS | Europe | Celibacy 'obligatory' for priests

Pope Benedict XVI has confirmed that celibacy "remains obligatory" for Roman Catholic priests.

He also restated the ban on Communion for divorced Catholics who remarry, and on abortion, euthanasia and gay unions which he said were "not negotiable".

Welcome, former Catholics, yearning to breathe (and live and worship) freely. The Episcopal Church welcomes you. If you live in the Chicago suburbs, anywhere within reach of Elk Grove Village, we at St Nicholas with the Holy Innocents will welcome you with open arms and hearts and minds.
