God is unique in His role as Creator. He is ,in a sense, Father of everything.
My point is the irony of the Pope urging the importance of the father/mother relationship but denies it in his own "club". I would think it hypocritical but I'm not Catholic so take it with a grain of salt as well.

So, St. Paul was a hypocrite. The Pope is in favor of priests, bishops, monks, and nuns each having a mother and a father. Where is the hypocrisy?

The Pope isn't "denying" anybody marriage. Nobody is required to take a vow of celibacy. Anybody who does take that vow, has that choice.

Why does it bother you that a man or woman can choose celibacy?
