Yes, it was a power hungry Pope, not Jesus who took away a Priests ability to marry. God also gave us a natural drive to mate.
It is traditional Christianity to celebrate and revere celibate clergy but also to allow married clergy up to a point.
What "power" is it that you think the papacy derives from this?
Saint Paul extolled the virtues of celibacy for those that are called to it. You obviously discount this, so I'm curious, which other points do you disagree with Paul on?
You wrote:

Nonsense. Priests didn't marry. If a man was already ordained he didn't marry. No pope could take away what never existed.
"God also gave us a natural drive to mate."
Incorrect. We don't mate. We aren't animals. God gave us a natural desire to seek completion with a member of the opposite sex. He also praised those who sacrificed those natural desires to accomplish something for God. He did that in Matthew 19:12. Did you know Jesus praised celibacy?
