He was President, brah. And he’s one of the first to tell you it’s not ideal to have family obligations and church obligations. One is always taking a backseat.

That's not at all what this passage says, and the quote you gave is Peter asking Jesus if it is better not to marry. Jesus replies not everyone can accept the rules of marriage.

Matthew 19:10-12
his disciples said to him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry." But he said to them, "Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can."

He's referring to the rules of marriage, not the idea that it's better not to marry. Good grief.

Holy crap, bro. Stop trying to use biblical quotes to support a completely political decision by the Catholic Church.

How old are you?

I think Catholic priest should be able to get married, but I also think there should be female priests.

Typically they allow it for ordained Episcopal/Anglican priests who convert. There were a lot of them that began to jump ship after the Church of England went all SJW and was all but endorsing gay marriage, etc

The Eastern Church has always allowed their priests to marry but with something of a caveat. They cannot move up in the heirarchy

Money decision.....money decision. The Catholic Church did not want to be taking care of widows and orphans of their "employees".....of course that did not stop the Borgia and the Medici from being prolific in their issue
