>kinda like catholicism telling priests they can't be married.<

simply a church rule...nothing wrong with marriage, there are MANY married Catholic priests....but the rule says if you want to become a priest, you must remain celibate and you must be MALE...

a non-biblical rule....one of many by catholicism.

from catholic answers:

Further, in the Latin rite there are a few married men, converted ministers from other faiths, who are ordained to the Catholic priesthood. This, however, is not common. Finally, in neither the Latin rite nor the Eastern rites do priests (or deacons) marry after they have been ordained, except in extraordinary circumstances.

are you really familiar with what catholicism teaches??

I know exactly what the church teaches....as more and more ministers leave their various denominations for a return to the true church of Jesus Christ, married men becoming priests has become far more frequent than in the past and it will become increasingly more frequent as more and more protestant clergy see the light.
