Holy Matrimony is a Sacrament in the Catholic Church...they're certainly not forbidding marriage. Not even all priests in the Church are expected not to marry - that is only a discipline in the Latin rite; priests in the Byzantine rite, for example, are allowed to marry. It is simply a discipline of the Latin rite priests, which nobody is forcing them into. If they don't want to remain celibate, they don't have to join the priesthood.
I would strongly recommend that everyone read Benedict's books Jesus of Nazareth and The Spirit of the Liturgy. Very edifying, and very full of Scripture.
I am still waiting for you to present a link to that article you saw concerning the Pope being seen sitting on a throneWhy do Catholic priests have to be celibate?

Because he thinks NO he believes he is king of this world.

I didn't say I agree with it, I'm just pointing out that it's not like the Catholic Church is forbidding marriage. Those verses cited aren't against the future Latin rite of the Catholic Church, they're against heretical groups extant at the time that were looking for the imminent end of the world and did, indeed, forbid marriage for everyone.Forgetting about the fact that there is no such priesthood presented in scripture. One should not be disqualified to join said priesthood because they refuse to remain celibate, especially if that priesthood is said to be founded on Christian principles and doctrines. It's interesting, even the Priest in the Old Testament were allowed to get married.

Looks more like a oversized chair to meOh I'm sorry. I googled it and here are the results: Google Search.
The Catholic Church considers the words spoken by the Holy Spirit and every single writer of scripture. There is nothing in scripture which denies celibacy. Jesus was celibate, Paul was celibate, and many of the early Bishops and monks were celibate, and other figures of the early Church.I say they dont need to be single to be a priest either acording to the HS and Paul who spoke by it. And again its a part of the catholic Church isn't it? Or maybe im wrong? If it is, it is the Catholics who need to condider the words spoken my The HS through Paul. Other Churches dont seem to have this problem anywhere. But then again they dont have a pope either.
So what differentiates a Chair and a ThroneLooks more like a oversized chair to me

The rule pertaining to celibacy can be changed but that is up to those who have chosen celibacy, not Catholics or non-Catholics.
Doesn't the bible say something about calling no man Father?
Could this be why people say the pope thinks hes King?
Jesus was God and I'm pretty sure your traitions teach that Peter was celibate.
As for Paul and the other bishops, if they were like Paul, it was by choice.
Wasn't Peter married?
Jesus was God and I'm pretty sure your traitions teach that Peter was celibate.
