Doctors and celibacy.

There was once q time when doctors
were doomed to celibacy. 1t was at the
conclusion of the medieval period,
when medicine was in the hands of the
monks In France the habit of celibacy
persisted long after the practice of
medicine had passed into lay hands.
For two or three centuries the doctors
protested, but in vain. The matter was
finally laid before the pope and toward
the end Of the fifteenth century the
VOW was abolished.
