Now They Call Him `Father' for Another Reason ...

Catholics in Ireland say the church is losing good, qualified priests who are leaving their jobs because of mandatory celibacy. The Irish Examiner has the story of a 73-year-old priest, Father Maurice Dillane, who left the church after he fathered a baby with a 31-year-old woman. Critics of the celibacy policy say many men would stay priests if only they could marry. Dillane has since left the church and is raising the child with the baby's mother.
