there were movements back as early as the Council of Trent for celibacy.

The Council of Trent was convened in 1545 - after the middle ages, and more than a thousand years after celibacy became the standard discipline in the Western Church.

You know nothing of history.

Apoligies. The Council of Nicea.

"and more than a thousand years after celibacy became the standard discipline in the Western Church."

That is incorrect.
