Kowalski has often toured Poland and studied its history and culture. He served as educational administrator at a high school, at universities, and at trade associations. He holds a doctorate from NYU, a masters from Fordham, and a bachelors degree from St. Mary's. As a married priest, the author was a member of the first board of CORPUS--the national association for a married priesthood, and organizer of annual days of prayer for married priests and their wives. In the current crisis over the shortage of celibate male Catholic priests, the solution of ordaining married men is hotly debated. Married Catholic Priests shows us the remarkable experience of American Catholic priests who marry and continue their Christian journey. In part a fascinating historical review, the book also includes the varied experiences of married priests in our time, whether active in the church or not. Kowalski manifests a strong faith, a positive affirmation of church and priesthood, and a welcoming embrace of the stirrings of the Spirit in these times. Seller Inventory # 79187
