Former Pope Benedict, in a new book written with a conservative cardinal, defends priestly celibacy.

Benedict wrote the book, “From the Depths of Our Hearts,” with Cardinal Robert Sarah.

Sarah is a Guinean prelate who heads the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.

Reuters reports that excerpts were published on Sunday on the website of the French newspaper Le Figaro.
