This question of yours, -- not Why celibacy?, but Why priests? -- is larger in scope and not really on topic. But this is an outline.

If that topic isn't in any way relevant, which it isn't, why did you bring it up on this thread?

It is relevant, but it is likely to start a long discussion on priests in general and dilute the focus of this thread. I don't mind answering Biblewonk's questions as long as both the questions and the answers don't become disruptive tot he main topic.
