I can't remember which pope started the trend (pious,innocent or whoever). It seems to only be custom rather than anything from scripture. Although I freely admit total ignorance on this.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Almost every religion allows their clergy people to marry and have children. Why not the Catholics? What's the problem if a priest marries? They can't have a normal life? But it's okay if they get blowjobs from altar boys.
I also don't understand their decree that you can't use artificial birth control. This is simply stupid and I'll bet the vast majority of parishioners ignore it.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
