Honestly, if you look at the history of priestly celebacy(sic) (not the Church version, but historical) you will see that this was created to generate wealth for the Church.

Correction: If you look at the urban legend revisonist history myth of priestly celibacy perpetuated by the ignorant you will see that this was created to generate wealth for the Church.

Suggest you engage in some much needed edification unless of course you enjoy wallowing in ignorance.

For history of celibacy I would go to “History of Sacerdotal Celibacy in the Christian Church” by Henry Charles Lea.
