Honestly, if you look at the history of priestly celebacy (not the Church version, but historical) you will see that this was created to generate wealth for the Church. You had priests from nobility coming into the Church, and would be in line to inherit. By pushing for celebacy, the line would die out with the priest and the Church would claim the land.What odd "history" book taught you this?
Probably the writings of Maria Monk or Loraine Boettner.
“You had priests from nobility coming into the Church, and would be in line to inherit.”
Speaking of nonsense...
Ever hear of primogeniture? First sons inherited titles and treasure; sons not in line for titles went into the Church.
And don’t even try to claim that if the first sons were died or were killed, priest sons would inherit. The first thing heirs did was beget their own heirs, often even before inheriting themselves.
