Fr. Stephen Wang har v\u00e6rt i Norge flere ganger i det siste, fordi han underviser ved Allen Hall Seminary i London, og har kommet til Norge n\u00e5r hans egne norske prestestudenter er blitt ordinert. Jeg har derfor hilst p\u00e5 ham noen f\u00e5 ganger, men kjenner ham ikke.<\/p>\n

The penny dropped.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Jeg kom f\u00f8rst over uttalelser fra Fr. Stephen i dag tidlig, da jeg leste hva han skrev om hvorfor kvinner ikke kan bli prester (se her<\/a>) og i referatet fra en debatt om s\u00f8libatet<\/a> nylig, der han omtales slik:<\/p>\n Stephen Wang is a young priest who spoke with eloquence and conviction about the joys of celibacy both in the inner freedom it gives him and in the practical benefits of having priests who can be entirely dedicated to those in their care. We disagree with one another, but he is a courteous and engaging opponent. …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fr.
