Man Alive: Priests Who Sin

on BBC Two England

A weekly programme which focuses on people and the situations which shape their lives.
Reporters: Angela Huth, Jeremy James, John Percival, Trevor Philpott, Desmond Wilcox

This week: Priests Who Sin
In the Roman Catholic Church priests are celibate - there must be no women in their lives - God's laws are to be obeyed and Canon Law, determined by the Vatican, is stern and unyielding. Millions of Roman Catholics throughout the world are concerned about the conflicts within their Church. Rows about contraception; arguments about celibacy; discussions about inflexibility. The priests argue too. Ten thousand of them have quit in the past ten years; many have married in defiance of their Church, suffered excommunication. Who are the priests who, in the eyes of their Church, have rebelled or sinned?
