It should remember that celibacy is a discipline and could be changed or suspended If the Church felt it was necessary.

Follow the money.

Protestant churches have no problem recognizing that they need to be paying their pastor enough to support a family, and most do.

That is not a good reason for a celibate priest.

God said that it was not good for man to be alone, so He created a helper suitable for him. If Adam needed it in perfection in the Garden, certainly fallen men need it as well.
