" There would not be priest scandals, if the Roman church followed the commandments of YHvh and promoted marriage."

I never cease to be amazed at how firmly some clutch to their own ignorance and condemn or criticize what they are ignorant of. As husbands and fathers our first priority is to our families before our neighbors and community. A priest's first priority must be to his flock. Having a wife and family would compromise this.

Peter who many believe was the first Pontiff stated:
NAsbU 1 Peter 2:9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD,
A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you
may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light;
If as Peter states that we are all a Royal Priesthood,
then there is no need for an Uber Caste of Priests
for the followers of the Christ to approach YHvH.

We can call on Yah'shua as our High Priest to approach YHvH.

NAsbU Matthew 27:51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn
in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split
When the veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom all of humanity
can approach the creator of the universe without an intermediary.
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach Adonai
