At least, if Dr Terruwe wished celibacy to be imposed on Eastern priests and deacons, I believe that there should be a citation of evidence.

(The shema Israel and the New Testament acclamation "Jesus is Lord" are perhaps articles of faith.) But many articles of faith arise from or are based on S. Scripture. So it seems better to me to omit the word 'its'.
