celibacy

 Some churches say that,  but the bible NEVER in the new testament commands anyone to be celibate.  Never.  Not priests, not teachers, nobody.  The old testament might, but that's for judaism not christianity.  But anyways, that was off topic of me, but I felt it important...

 Celibacy in the Catholic Church is only a discipline that allows priests to focus all their attention on God and their parish. Also, in my Church, the Bible isn't considered the highest authority. Priests in other rites of the Roman Catholic Church can be married when they are ordained, and this is possible for converts to the Catholic Church as well. In my religion it doesn't matter if it doesn't say something in the Bible. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that everything must be based on Scripture so I don't believe that.
