That is the excuse for forcing those called to the priest hood to take a vow of celibacy whether they want to or not.
You don't seem to get it. No man is "forced" into the priesthood. Either their vocation is to the religious life, or it's not. Nobody puts a gun to their heads.

You don't seem to get that the long standing tradition in the church is that GOD calls men into the priesthood.
For centuries in the church men were called to the priesthood and even the papacy, AFTER they had been married.
Turning away those called to the priesthood is folly.
