Yes, of course. It goes back and forth on the matter. Then decides upon celibacy. I have more than a few things to say but I will be brief. The Levites (priests) were married. Moses was married. Abraham was married. Some of the Disciples were married. And as I stated earlier, there is no Biblical command to be celibate.
As far as the daily Eucharist, I have a big problem with that one too. When something is done too much, such as daily, it becomes a ritual. A mechanical mindless daily ritual. That's the way humans work. It's like the Sabbath. God commanded man to work six day but to reserve the seventh day to devote to Him. When the prayers become repetitions and the ceremonies become rituals . . . it is all formulaic in design and it is works. We live by faith. YMMV
