Just Astounding! Sure priests just spring up out of a box! ;)

Ya, that's funny...What's even funnier is that God says clergy are to have a wife...Obviously so they know how to deal with married couples...But who cares what God says, eh???

And what chapter and verse would that be found?

You are aware that celibacy is Bible-based, right?

Celibacy is neither dogmatic, nor universal. There are some (few) married priest, and it is possible that the discipline of celibacy may be changed.

So, quit parroting Oral Roberts or Jimmy Swaggart and do a little more research.

1 Timothy 3:1-5 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?
