Actually the disappearance of church property to clerics' children and their wider family in medieval times was the main trigger for the ongoing attempt to enforce universal celibacy. Where I live, the wider family is still strong. While diocesan clergy are still formally "celibate", parish and diocesan finance inevitably repays the family for the clerics' education. The laity are finally grumbling, and ever more loudly, at the number of family members they have to support. When the clerics are officially permitted to marry, expect a revolt from the long suffering laity.
