The early RCC church and church fathers did not require priests to be unmarried and celibate, did they? Were they wrong on that matter? Can't pick and choose. They were generally good, but fallible men.

Priests being unmarried is not dogma. It could possibly change in the future.

So, you have no problem with married priests?

That’s unlikely.
