But the debate would be a good one of the CC to have! Celibate priests is a very bad idea.

John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”

Re: Priests Allowed to Marry???
The fact that the idea is raised at all in the Catholic Church at all is a positive.Apparently that's only in remote areas of the Amazon.
And this requirement of celibacy, first initiated by the CC after 1,000 years of Christian church leaders being married - it contradicts Scripture!
The requirement of those overseeing the church in 1 Timothy 3: "3 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife..."
And was the development of this false teaching / prohibition of not marrying prophetic - as it would seem so.
And 1 Timothy 4: "4 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, 3 who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving
Oh, and that CC stuff about Peter being supposed "first pope" - ah, THE supposed leader of the all popes to come...was married! Peter's mother-in-law was healed by Jesus at their home in Capernaum (Matthew 8:14–17, Mark 1:29–31, Luke 4:38); And 1 Corinthians 9:5 has also implies that Pete was married.
A lot of bad stuff has come from the CC's celibacy requirement for priests!

Re: Priests Allowed to Marry???
The RCC mandate for priests not to marry is not biblical OR apostolic.
