"This is a Dogma of the Catholic Church."

NO! It is not dogma. It is practice that is subject to change. This has nothing to do with faith and morals. Please do some studying. Those who advocate for a married priesthood are not asking that dogma be changed, just the current long-standing practice. There are married priests in the Roman Catholic Church today.

Dogma:
Among the early Fathers the usage was prevalent of designating as dogmas the doctrines and moral precepts
taught or promulgated by the Saviour or by the Apostles; and a distinction was sometimes made between Divine,
Apostolical, and ecclesiastical dogmas, according as a doctrine was conceived as having been taught by Christ, by
the Apostles, or as having been delivered to the faithful by the Church.

Directions concerning Marriage
1 Corinthians 7.32
32. I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the
Lord; 33. but the married man is anxious about the affairs of the world, how to please his wife, 34. and his interests
are divided. And the unmarried woman and the virgin are anxious about the affairs of the Lord, so that they may be
holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about the affairs of the world, how to please her husband.
35. I say this for your own benefit, not to put any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and
unhindered devotion to the Lord.
