I am quite prepared to commit to celibacy, and would very much not want to marry and be a priest (waaay too much work, and the stress of having to devote oneself to both a family and a parish would be unbelievable).
The Pastor of my church seems to manage ok with both a family and the church to take care of.
Being a Protestant pastor is a job.
I assure you being a Protestant Pastor is more than just a job.
A (decent) priest doesn’t have set working hours.
Neither does my Pastor.
He should be free to go to the hospital in an emergency in the middle of the night.
My Pastor does this.
He should be free to run ministries in the evenings with his parishioners and do house visits.
My Pastor does this too.
He says Mass at least once a day and is always available to hear confessions.
That my Pastor of course does not do.
He devotes himself entirely to his parishioners.
My Pastor is very devoted to the church and its congregation.
There is simply no comparison between the job description of a Protestant pastor and a Catholic priest.
I am not certain you really understand the job description of a Protestant Pastor.
You may be right. I admit, I made a pretty broad generalization and it might apply to Evangelical Christians and less to other denominations (or it might not apply to either. I found an interesting article that compares the typical workload of Catholic priests and Protestant ministers. As far as I can tell, though, this is an average, and there are a lot of priests that don’t really work as hard as they should. Many of the better priests work 70-80 hours a week, or as many as 90 hours (and I suppose the same may be true of the better Protestant pastors).
Now, I should also note that the primary reason for celibacy isn’t the workload, although it’s certainly one of the main reasons why I personally would not want to be married. Priests are representatives of Christ, and thus the primary goal of celibacy is to configure oneself more closely to Christ. Not to mention that priests are in a certain sense “married” to the Church already.
