Fact remains there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with married priests. There is NOTHING in the Bible requiring mandatory clerical celibacy. This something that was made up in the Middle Ages, largely to combat corruption and nepotism in the Church. The early popes, bishops, and priests were married men, for at least the first ten centuries of Church history.
I don’t see anything to argue with here. The Church has never taught that clerical celibacy is inherent to the sacrament of Holy Orders. It’s not a doctrine of the Church: which is one reason why we have so many married deacons in Holy Orders.

It is much easier and more focused with a celibate lifestyle.
**There is NOTHING in the Bible requiring mandatory clerical celibacy.**
True, but we have the model of Jesus for men to imitate. Not too shabby in my estimation.
You may want to provide sources for your statement about married priests for 1000 years.
the FACT remains THERE IS NO PROOF allowing Married Priests means there would be more OR BETTER of them. There would be no Bible without Tradition.
