Priestly celibacy is a discipline not a dogma or doctrine. It’s merely something the Church decided was a better practice. There are, in fact, married Catholic priests today.

Yes. Agreed. Mandatory priestly celibacy has NOTHING to do with anything which can be found in the Bible. In fact priests were married men in the Bible.
