I thought the pope did not make a mistake so why do the want to go back to priests getting married?

I thought it was the accepted consensus that #1 There are no Biblical texts requiring celibacy and #2 The RCC instituted it as a means to gain inherited estates from priests from wealthy families. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Oh no! here they come.

I don’t know the answer and have asked it before.
When was the decision made that Catholic Priests are to be celibate and not allowed to marry or have a family, when damn near every other religion allows their ‘clergy’ to do it?
I had heard it was during the Plague or something like that.

Celibacy is a discipline not a dogma. There are a few married priests in the Roman Rite. They were Episcopal priests and they converted and became Catholic priests. There are also married priests in the Maronite Rite. That is an Eastern Rite that is loyal to Rome but has an orthodox style liturgy.

They can’t stop all the pedophile priests—so they might as well throw in the towel...
