That is mainly the Catholic church, the largest Christian denomination. Other Christian churches do allow their priests or preachers to marry, though.
No, in most religious traditions, secular priests are required to take a vow of celibacy and cannot marry. This includes priests in the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and most Protestant denominations.
In the Greek Orthodox tradition, priests are allowed to marry before their ordination. However, they cannot marry after they have been ordained. This practice differs from Roman Catholicism, where priests are required to remain celibate.
One misconception is that all priests have the same authority within the Catholic Church hierarchy. In reality, there are different levels of ordination, such as deacons, priests, and bishops, each with distinct roles and responsibilities. Another misconception is that priests are forbidden to marry, when in fact this is a discipline within the Latin Rite but not a doctrine of the sacrament itself. Additionally, some may mistakenly believe that ordination automatically guarantees holiness or perfection, when priests, like all individuals, are fallible and can struggle with their faith.
As a Catholic saint, St. Pius did not have any biological children. In Catholic tradition, priests and religious figures such as saints commit to a life of celibacy and are not permitted to marry or have children.
Yes, the issue of priestly celibacy is a point of contention between the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches.
