text: We all are aware that celibacy originated in a manner not at all laudable....protection of money and property. The  Christian Community accepted married presbyters and bishops for roughly half its existence and then "money" became preferable to normal living for our ministers.
  Marriage is a SACRAMENT but celibacy is not.....good reason to foster the merits of a sacramental life not one that is out of the norm. Ministers should be of both genders and permitted to marry before or after ordination when they have found the person they wish to share their life with. Remarriage permitted also for anyone whose spouse dies. 
  If marriage is TRULY a praiseworthy vocation it should not be dismissed or distained by the Church for its ministers.
