In the Maronite Catholic Church, priests are generally required to be celibate if they are ordained to the priesthood. However, married men can be ordained as priests, particularly in the Eastern Catholic tradition. Monsignors, who are typically priests elevated to a title of honor, also adhere to the celibacy norms based on their status and the rites of the Church. Therefore, while celibacy is expected for many priests, there are exceptions for married clergy within the Maronite tradition.

In most juristictions and synods, they may. In some small Lutheran synods, bishops may not, while priests/pastors and deacons/deaconesses may. Lutheran clergy who are not married are bound to celibacy.

Roman Catholic Answer:A diocesan priest takes no vows. He is obligated to pray The Divine Office each day, and he makes a solemn promise of obedience to his Bishop when he is ordained. He also makes a promise of celibacy (this may be a vow, it is spoken of as a solemn vow in my pre-Vatican II dictionary, but I can find no reference to it in the current Catechism).
