Someone was telling me last night that Christians weren't allowed to marry at all until about 900 AD, when some Pope decided that the only way he could fight Crusades was to have his followers making babies.

I haven't found a good link on it, but I thought it was interesting, and something I didn't know before.

don't think that is correct.

Doesn't sound right to me, since Paul spoke of marriage and recommended to those who could not resist sexual temptation. Of course, he also recommended against marriage, and was not married himself. Jesus also spoke of marriage and even attended a famous wedding where he supposedly converted water into wine. I think what you are saying is apocryphal, at best.
