[basis for celibacy can be found in] +Paul's Epistles. As well as in the Gospels, -- anywhere Christ is described as bridegroom of the Church either expressly or by parable.

anywhere Christ is described as bridegroom of the Church either expressly or by parable. (regarding celibacy). Good point. We would presume that when Jesus talks to the disciples about marriage and those who would do with NOT getting married - "to those who are able", we would presume that our Lord would be able!
