How ironic that Catholics should complain about *attacks on matrimony* and then attack it themselves by forbidding their priests to marry.
Instead of the priests being an example of how to be married and serve God, the Catholic church attacks marriage itself by treating marriage and sex as if it's wrong and dirty and beneath people who are supposedly truly spiritual.
As if someone can't enjoy sex and be spiritual at the same time.
To be deep into history is to cease to believe that because a priest or a monk or a nun is not married to a person of the opposite sex, that he or she is unmarried.
The catholic Church doesn’t forbid married priests; the Latin Rite doesn’t allow it. Most Eastern Rite Catholic churches have married priests - and they are loyal to Rome and the papacy.
