I believe this is the real issue. They don't want to have to pay a high enough salary for their priests to support their families.

Yeah, sure it is. Tell me, care to support your claim with facts and evidence? Or just your own pre-conceived notions?

Did I strike a nerve? Your side has a lot more PR issues to worry about than getting upset over someone's opinion regarding the motivation behind celebacy.

BTY, nepotism was a huge issue directly related to how "the" church developed its stance on priestly celebacy. If you need more than that, go get a history book.
