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.

sigh There is nothing in scripture to indicate that men were FORBIDDEN to marry, and that is what we are talking about here. In fact, there are clear rules that if a man was married, he was to have only one wife, and his household was to be in order. Logically, there is NOTHING in scripture to support celibacy ONLY. Period.

"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.

And all of those are still dogmas--not practices. The celibate priesthood is not a dogma. Please do some more studying. If God had said "no", it would be a dogma, and there would be no married priests in the church today. Remember, the church never changes in practice of dogma? Well, it already has, as it already has married priests. A real problem if you believe the church never errs when it comes to dogma, don't you think?
