The apostle Peter was married...
I still do not understand why current Catholic priests are forbidden from enjoying one of God's greatest gifts...
Without going into the history and theology, we frequently see our priest informal circumstances, many times he has had to get up in the middle of the night to give Last Rites, etc. His Sunday schedule is impossible and the rest of the days are very full as well. It simply would be unfair to a wife and children, as Fr must be available 24/7 for a very large number of people.
Possibly to keep the heterosexuals out...
