The Catholic Church should allow married priests. Nothing about ministerial duties mandated to be celibate is Biblical.

St. Paul said Deacons should be husbands, and he said d it’s better to marry than burn with lust.

They should allow married priests.

The Catholic Church does allow married priests, in the Eastern rite, Oriental rite etc.

Protestant clergy who are already married can also come into the priesthood under certain conditions.

It’s simply the tradition of the Latin Rite to be celibate and is looked upon as an honor to Jesus Christ.

All that is done is going back to the Biblical roots.
