Dear Kirangwa,
These web postings should help:
Why a Celibate Priesthood?
The Biblical Blueprint for the Priesthood
.
Why can't Catholic priests get married when Eastern Rite and Greek Orthodox priests can?
Why does Catholic doctrine forbid married priests, when the Bible says Peter was a Pope and was married?
Based on 1 Timothy 3:1-13, and Titus 1:6-9 should priests be celibate?
