Looked up the Council of Trent in Wikipedia. At this Council preistly celibacy was formally institutionalized in the Canon.
That’s just what bothers me. In Matt. 19:12 Jesus talks about eunuchs “born from their mother’s womb”, “made eunuchs of men” and those “which have made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake”. Then He adds “He who is able to receive it, let him receive it”. It seems to me that Jesus considered celibacy optional, something to which a few are called. But the Catholic church has made it a rule for priesthood. Is the Council of Trent above our Lord and Savior? Certainly not!
