I have no idea why Catholics are so enamored with celibacy. It's one of the many strange things they do that has no scriptural basis.

I guess your "scriptures" exclude 1 Corinthians chapter 7 ?

The Catholic Church has made a LAW that its PRIESTS cannot MARRY, but must remain CELIBATE. The Bible clearly says that "forbidding to marry" is a false teaching and even a "doctrine of devils"!--1Timothy 4:1-3; Genesis 2:18; 1Corinthians 7:9. The priests in the Old Testament--even those who entered into the HOLIEST OF HOLIES in the Temple--were allowed to marry. Even PETER, whom Catholics consider to be the first POPE, was MARRIED!--Matthew 8:14; 1Corinthians 9:5. As it now stands, the Church's teaching on celibacy has driven many priests into God-cursed sodomy, or homosexuality!

Something I found with a quick internet search. You can't just take one verse out of context. The Bible as a whole has to be considered.
