But now a married person CANT become a priest, right?

Speaking as a man, asking a man to give up marital relations is asking for YUGE trouble.

It is a driving force that is like no other.

I am for priests being allowed to marry.

Or at least BE married :)

Well, the canon on celibate clergy is only in the Western church. And even then, there are exceptions.

However, if you're alluding to the hope that a married priesthood would cut down on homosexuality, check out Episcopalianism.

I rest my case.
