Tonight: The Catholic Dilemma: Part 1
In Holland a row blows up about celibacy when a handful of young priests refuse to accept ordination unless the obligatory vow to remain celibate is removed.
The bishops in charge (like the Bishop of Haarlem, above) have recommended a new approach to celibacy in face of shrinking congregations, dwindling numbers in the priesthood, and an increasing sense, among the five million Dutch catholics, that the Roman Catholic Church is losing step with the 20th century.
The Vatican has remained stern. But in Holland there are priests who have married; and others who want to; and the movement for change is strong.
