"There is absolutely NOTHING in the Bible requiring compulsory clerical celibacy."

True --- and the Cathoilic Church agrees with that. That's why priestly celibacy in the Latin Church is a discipline (a changeable rule), not a dogma.

You are correct as usual.

It would be nice if the advocates of compulsory clerical celibacy would provide reasons why the policy is still needed or necessary. Certainly nothing in the Bible requires such a policy.
