Priests weren't always required to be celibate. The Catholic church realized a long time ago that wives tend to become too involved with the direction of a man's life and his money. Thus, in order to keep control, they simply took wives out of the equation. Clearly it's not in the Bible that a man need be celibate to be a preacher in a church. Plus, wasn't it Jesus who was the great purveyor of marriage?

The whole system stinks of corruption.
