Celibacy in the Catholic Church has been practiced since the early days of Christianity. It became a requirement for priests in the 11th century, as a way to prevent inheritance of church property by priests' offspring. The rule has been debated and challenged over the centuries, but remains a key aspect of Catholic clergy discipline.

What is the Roman Catholic celibacy cannon law?
For the answer to this question you should refer to the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, which you will find on the Vatican's website. Following are two of the three paragraphs that deal with the celibacy of priests found within part two, section two, chapter three, article 6 of the catechism: 1579 All the ordained ministers of the Latin Church, with the exception of permanent deacons, are normally chosen from among men of faith who live a celibate life and who intend to remain celibate "for the sake of the kingdom of heaven."70 Called to consecrate themselves with undivided heart to the Lord and to "the affairs of the Lord,"71 they give themselves entirely to God and to men. Celibacy is a sign of this new life to the service of which the Church's minister is consecrated; accepted with a joyous heart celibacy radiantly proclaims the Reign of God.72 1599 In the Latin Church the sacrament of Holy Orders for the presbyterate is normally conferred only on candidates who are ready to embrace celibacy freely and who publicly manifest their intention of staying celibate for the love of God's kingdom and the service of men. See also the New Advent website, which is a Roman Catholic encyclopedia website.
