• Keep -- The list of his publications is sufficient to warrant keeping the article. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:32, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
• Keep -- Wow a married priest, that is very rare and a good reason to keep this, list of his publications is also another good reason to keep this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.239.156.253 (talk) 20:31, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
