The point is the priest's presence in the Divine space is in conflict with the purpose of marriage, -- which is to restore a proximity to the Divine space of the Garden where the three-way communion between man, woman and God was intact.
A priest may remain nominally married as an act of charity to his wife, and it was extended to the Apostles in that spirit. It cannot be but an exception due to a preexisting peculiar circumstance. A man who wants, by rights, to marry and be a priest at the same time is someone who has no understanding of either marriage or priesthood.
Another preposterous theological assertion! Your statement seems to imply that sexual relations are incompatible with presence to the Divine. You need to read what John Paul II, a celibate, has written about the theology of the body.
A priest may remain nominally married as an act of charity to his wife, and it was extended to the Apostles in that spirit. It cannot be but an exception due to a preexisting peculiar circumstance.
It is not "nominal" marriage, but a genuine Christian sacramental marriage. Full, and complete.

You should be quiet. You are making a total fool of yourself.
I really cannot comment on what you are saying, save to say that this is not the understanding of the Orthodox Church of the canons regarding the priesthood. I am not well versed enough in Roman theology to know if you are right or wrong in that area.
"The point is the priest's presence in the Divine space is in conflict with the purpose of marriage, -- which is to restore a proximity to the Divine space of the Garden where the three-way communion between man, woman and God was intact."
Nonsense. Marriage is the first Covenantal union between man, woman and God which has been raised to the status of a Sacrament by Christ.
Adam was THE FIRST PRIEST and prior to the fall, the priest par excellence, and he was so at the same time as which he was married. There is no theological conflict between priesthood and marriage whatsoever. To suggest that there is a conflict is a heresy, as it is a denial of the inerrancy of both Holy Scripture and Holy Tradition.
