Indeed; and married priesthood is possible. Celibate priesthood though is a purer form.

Why is "celibate" priesthood a "purer" form?

Especially if it leads to a homosexual dominance, secret relationships and dishonesty?

Are Eastern rite married priests less "pure" ? Did the Apostles and many in the early Church have a less pure priesthood? Please help me understand?
