QUOTATION: Virginity and the Priesthood

To sow the seeds of perfect purity and to arouse a desire for virginity has always belonged to the function of the priesthood.

--St. Ambrose, De Virginitate 5: 26

Holy Virginity and that perfect chastity which is consecrated to the service of God are without a doubt the most precious treasures which the Founder of the Church has left in the hertiage to the society which He established. -

-Pope Pius XII, Sancta Virginitas
