PRIESTS SEEKING
RIGHT TO MARRY
Petition to Vatican Asks
for Annulment Of Cell
bacy Obligation
APPEAL TO Be IGNORED
Policy of Catholic Church Is
Fixed, Is Comment From
Residence of Pope

ROME, July 15.--A petition has
been addressed TO the Vatican ask
Ing for dispensation 10 relieve
priests of their eccleslastical obliga-
tion OF celibacy. II was learned to-
day. The indications. however, are
that the petition will have no re-
suits.
No Names Signed.
The Italian Newspaper Epoca had
declared the petition was signed by
"a number OF priests and some
cardinals, but inquiry at the Vatican
ELECTED the Information that the
petition was annnymous with no
names 70 indicate the authorship.
Officials Of the Vatican denied
there is a general desire ON the part
of priests 10 marry. They pointed
out that the papal policy in this
respect Is best eXemplified by the
recent communication OF Roman
Catholic priest in CZecho-Slovakia
because he Joined an anti'bachelor
organization.
In view Of the policy OF the
Vatican regarding tho private life
authors OF the petition would not
sign It, belief is prevalent that II
will get no attention at all.
To use the language OF the
Italian newspaper. the priests asked
70 be relieved "of impossible oh
servance Of ecclesiastical celihacy."
The petition states further on;
Custom Old as Church.
Purity OF lifc, which is the
highest aim OF the church. iE rea ached
through the free working OF mans
nature, not by coercion and the i'm
position Of laws against nature"
Cclibacy on the part Of Roman
Catholic prolates is as old as the
church itself BachelOrhood was

the lives Of the churchmen, as far
az possible. after the life of the
Savior,
