"Either let priests be married or don't, but don't play games here with Gods' word. "
God said priests could not be married??
He left it up to direct subordinate left in charge of loosing and binding : St Peter.
The key issue is: does he abide by the teaching of the Church? Many priests do not.
The priest having a wife is just a cross he will have to bear.

Does your wife know you feel this way?

Having a family is a blessing, whether one is a priest or a layman.
The family is the foundation of Christian society. The clergy should reflect such priciples through having families of their own.
Time to get rid of the Paulist anti-marriage attitude that became law in the Church in the 1300s.
