Major restrictions placed on Catholic priests historically included celibacy, prohibiting them from marrying or engaging in sexual relations. They were also required to adhere to strict guidelines regarding their conduct, including maintaining a lifestyle of poverty and obedience to their bishops. In some contexts, priests faced limitations on their ability to preach or administer sacraments without permission from higher church authorities. Additionally, throughout history, priests have sometimes been restricted in their interactions with laity and involvement in political matters.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe church requires celibacy from your priests, but they do not take this vow at ordaination. The first of the major ordinantions is deacon, and all priests have been ordained to the deaconate at the end of their third year of theology. That is when they make a vow of celibacy.

In most Christian churches, clergy are allowed to marry. Indeed in some churches there are priests married to each other (e.g. in the Church of England there are many husband and wife clergy families). This includes most Protestant churches and the Orthodox church, where parish priests can be married but monks, bishops and above remain celibate. The largest church with celibate priests is the Roman Catholic church. In this church, it is held that celibacy helps the priest to focus on God and service to the church. However, the issue of celibacy is not a matter of faith or theology, but a vow imposed on the majority of western-rite (Latin) Roman Catholic priests. The major reason for this requirement is to prevent a conflict between family life and service to a priest's parishioners. Contrary to widely held opinion, there are, and always have been, married priests in the Catholic church. Eastern-rite Catholic priests, such as the Maronites, and, more recently, already married Anglican priests who convert to Catholicism and wish to be Catholic priests, continue to serve in the priesthood. One condition of priesthood for married former-Anglican priests is that they may not serve in the role of principal parish priest, in order to conform with the principle of celibacy imposed on the majority of Roman Catholic priests. It is worth remembering that many of the early priests of the church, including the first pope (St Peter) were married.
Unhallowed means not regarded as holy. Another word for unhallowed is unholy. "A major criticism that some people have with the Catholic church is some of the unhallowed acts that their priests do."

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. There are literally hundreds of major Catholic relief agencies around the world offering help to the common man. Priests, nuns and lay people are encouraged by the Church to perform acts of charity whether at home or on a mission.

No. Ordination is not considered a marriage. In the Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Old Catholic and Anglican churches, ordination is identified with the sacrament of Holy Orders and is the means by which one is included in one of the three major orders: bishop, priest, or deacon.
