The Catholic Church allows married priests in the Eastern Rites, but an issue often raised is who provides for their families? Other Apostles were married, but the fate of their families left behind as they met their martyrdom isn’t recorded.
Because some rites allow it, there is no one position by Rome, but a look at the early twentieth century upheavals supports the case for celibate priests. While many Catholic priests could meet martyrdom because wives and children couldn’t be used to coerce them, married clergy in other faiths were compromised by those relationships.
The church has been in favor of married priests considerably longer than enforced non married priests
Married priests with kids likely to be more rounded and conservative
And far fewer homosexuals
Just saying you guys
It’s a Trent thing and is it all that to serious Catholics and if so why
Interesting, and not widely known...married deacons in the Catholic Church are expected to be celibate.
