Catholic AnswerNo, because it is has been the discipline of the Church since the very beginning that priest are to mirror Christ in their lives. They take a vow of celibacy when they are ordained to the diaconate and may never marry. This has been in force since the beginning and was in force during Mary Tudor's reign.Wiki User

∙ 11y agoCatholic answer: There is a great deal of evidence for clerical celibacy in the early church (first three centuries), a complete discussion can be found in the Catholic Encyclopedia at the link below. Laws enforcing clerical celibacy start showing up between 295 and 302 A.D. There were problems with observance during the medieval period, but they were never permitted to marry. There are rites of the church (of which the Latin rite is only one, albeit the largest) in which we ordain married men, but one takes a vow of celibacy upon ordination and no one may marry after ordination.

Episcopal priests are allowed to marry; I have no problem with that. Perhaps the Catholic Church could allow some priests to marry--I'm not convinced that it is a bad thing. I don't make these decisions, however.
