[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

The topic of required mandatory clerical celibacy is certainly a policy which should be reviewed.

There is nothing in the Bible mandating celibacy as a prerequisite for service in the priesthood. In fact, priests in the Bible were married men.

The early popes and the overwhelming majority of priests and bishops were married men well until the Middle Ages.

Mandatory clerical celibacy was introduced largely to fight corruption in the Church and prevent the transfer of Church property from father to son.

Orthodox priests are permitted marry, I see no reason why Catholio priests should be denied marriage if they want to.
