I’m not sowing confusion. I’m stating the facts. Compulsory clerical celibacy was not implemented until well into the Middle Ages and for reasons unrelated to anything which can be found in the Bible. Orthodox priests are permitted to marry, so are Catholic priests in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Would you call them protestants too?
The call to celibacy has been official and binding in the Western church from at least the 4th century. Perhaps earlier. The fact that this rule was repeated and emphasized in later centuries has no bearing on the fact that it obtained from a very early time.
The quote you've lifted from a Wikipedia article is grossly out of context. In not disclosing this, you are a liar.
Orthodox priests are NOT permitted to marry. Neither are Eastern Catholic priests. No priest in any church with apostolic succession is allowed to marry.
Your posts are not accurate, and we no longer need pretend you are mistaken. You are simply dishonest, a sower of confusion and division in the Church. I will not be responding to any further posts from you.
