by Heinz-J Vogels (Author)

The author suffered from repeated depressions after his ordination to the Catholic priesthood. The depression once for all ceased after his sacramental marriage. The reactions to this marriage from the hierarchy, who stuck to tradition, could hardly be other than negative, although no-one could refute the arguments of the author. Nevertheless he was not officially readmitted to the Catholic priesthood, even if some Catholic communities welcome his service on a regular basis.
