The Dynamics of Celibacy

Knowing I'm Catholic, people like to tell me how unBiblical celibacy for priests is. They make the case that, because most of the apostles were married, it gives the Church no choice but to allow priests to marry.

I've been surprised at the number of people who actually seem angry about this requirement. It doesn't affect them, and the priests willingly make that choice. Not understanding and even disagreeing is one thing, but to get upset about it always surprises me.

Today I read The Dynamics of Celibacy at Catholic Exchange. It's written by a priest. It might be good for those of you with questions to read a priests words about this subject.
