Can you give me an specific fact that catholic priest should not marry?

Answer 1

Abstinence is a form of religious self-discipline practice that is held sacred (as Jesus & Virgin Mary practiced it) by Roman Catholics. Also, many argue that a man needs, by nature, some sort of "physical" contact in their life, and priests aren't getting that physical contact. But Roman Catholics believe in transubstantiation (bread & wine offerings at Mass turning into the TRUE, NOT SYMBOLIC body and blood of Christ), so if one's a true Catholic believer they know the bread & wine sacraments, PHYSICAL & tangible things, are enough to satisfy not only the spiritual but also physical needs of contact of any Christian, including priest.

Another major reason is because they chose the lifestyle of a priest, which is a very busy one and demands them to be ready to perform their duties and execution of sacrements (visiting dying, baptisms, etc.) at any time; not to be delayed by personal commitments in this case marriage or kids, which anyone who is a parent'd know how hectic it can get.

However, there are R. Catholic priest who are married and have kids, but this can only happen if the man had been some kind of clergyman/minister on his previous religion (Episcopal, Baptist, Methodist, etc.). But this occurs rarely because these candidates've to undergo special investigations by the Vatican itself in order for this to not become a trend among men who are conscious of this canon law and wish to use it for their deceivous benefit of becoming both a priest & familyman silmultaneously. But those who are currently both can tell you from their own experiences how straining and overwhelming being a priest and husband/dad can be.
