Priests, religious brothers and religious sisters (nuns) as part of their vocation choose not to marry following:


+ The practice recommended in the Bible


+ The example of Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, and the Apostle Paul.





+++ Scripture +++





In Matthew 19:12, Jesus says, ';Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.';





In Matthew 19:29, Jesus says, ';And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times more, and will inherit eternal life.';





Matthew 22:30 - Jesus explains, ';At the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven.';





In 1 Corinthians 7:1, Paul writes, ';It is a good thing for a man not to touch a woman.';





Then in 1 Corinthians 7:7, Paul says, ';Indeed, I wish everyone to be as I am.';





In 1 Corinthians 7:27, Paul writes, ';Are you free of a wife? Then do not look for a wife.';





In 1 Corinthians 7:32-33, Paul teaches, ';I should like you to be free of anxieties. An unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord. But a married man is anxious about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.'; And in verse 38, ';So then, the one who marries his virgin does well; the one who does not marry her will do better.';





Paul recommends celibacy for full time ministers in the Church so that they are able to focus entirely upon God and building up His kingdom. He “who refrains from marriage will do better.”





See also 1 Timothy 5:9-12, 2 Timothy 2:3-4, Revevation 14:4, Isaiah 56:3-7, and Jeremiah 16:1-4.





+++ Scriptural Examples +++





Biblical role models of a celibate clergy came from John the Baptist, Jesus, and the Apostle Paul.





John the Baptist and Jesus are both believed to have been celibate for their entire lives. Some scholars believe that the example of the Essenes influenced either or both Jesus and John the Baptist in their celibacy.





WWJD? What would Jesus do? Jesus did not marry.





The Apostle Paul is explicit about his celibacy (see 1 Cor. 7). There is also evidence in the gospel of Matthew for the practice of celibacy among at least some early Christians, in the famous passage about becoming “eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 19:12).





The concept took many twists and turns over the years and will probably take a few more before Christ returns in glory.





A priest is ';married'; to the Church. Some people think that a priest who takes his duties seriously cannot take proper care of a wife and family.

I have often wondered this question, so I have talked to many priests about this. They always tell me that they freely chose to become priests…and therefore, they freely chose a life of celibacy. This is a sacrifice for many of them, but the Lord is faithful and continues to bless their lives. The Catholic Catechism (Section 1574) says priests chose to be celibate ';for the sake of the kingdom of heaven.'; Called to consecrate themselves with undivided heart to the Lord and to ';the affairs of the Lord,'; they give themselves entirely to God and to men. Celibacy is a sign of this new life to the service of which the Church's minister is consecrated; accepted with a joyous heart celibacy radiantly proclaims the Reign of God.





A priest is called to imitate Jesus, and Jesus wasn't married. Jesus focused his time and energy on building relationships with other people, teaching them, healing them, and loving them. Jesus was much more effective because he wasn’t caring for a wife and children.

Because they take a vow of celibacy.Obviously they couldn't remail celibate if they were to get married. Well, I guess they could, but I doubt that it would be a very happy marriage. It's like they are married to God or to the church.
All the 'theologians' who answered before me gave wonderful answers, as to why Roman Catholic priests don't marry.


However, priests in other Catholic Rites do. We are Ukrainian Catholic, and our priests are allowed to marry. My father in law was a priest, my own father was a deacon, my niece is married to a priest. My brother-in-law is an unmarried priest.


We have many couples and their families as friends where the man is a married priest. I think this is an important vocation in itself. A married priest CAN look after a parish/parishioners and a family, too. His relationship with his wife and children enhances his ability and understanding to lead other people as a parish priest.


I know in the case with my own dad, who was an ordained deacon, married with six children. He could do everything except consecrate Communion and hear confessions. Couples loved having him do their premarital counselling and perform their marriages simply BECAUSE he was a married man with a family, who knew what it was all about. That doesn't mean a celibate priest can't counsel well - that's not what I mean.


I think the Roman Catholics would find they would have more men led to the vocation of priest if they would allow married priests.
Priests take a vow of celibacy, among other vows. That means that they vow not to have any sort of sexual contact with a woman. By becoming a priest, they are essentially ';married'; to the church.
it's so that all his time and energy goes to God and the church. it's as if he's married to God like many others have mentioned.


Just like when we marry a spouce- they are our focus and we wouldn't have time or energy to keep a good relationship with two husbands or 2 wives. one would take away from the other.
Sexual essence in a person is an energy generator. Celibate people are able to direct this energy for spiritual purposes rather than physical apeasement.
I am Catholic and this doctrine about celibacy of priests I could not accept.
Priests used to be allowed to be married, although it was always thought that those who remained celibate, whether married or not, were more spiritually pure and therefore closer to God. However, this became a big issue for the medieval church when priests started leaving Church property to wives, children, illegitimate children, and mistresses. Far from a moral issue, the marriage issue was addressed because the Church was stung by the slow but steady draining of their coffers. Instead of just saying celibate priests were more holy than those who were not, they decided it was the only way to be. Since the Church could not police what happened in a married couples' bedroom, and since their definition of marriage was to produce babies, it was assumed that any man who was married was not celibate. Thus to be a priest you could not be currently married. This evolved into not being married at all, and the moral and spiritual justifications the Church gave the people for this change (priests are married to the Church like Jesus was, needing the extra spiritual energy/time to devote to the Church, etc.) became the accepted wisdom.
