The thought of Catholic celibacy is particularly stupid when you understand the reason behind it. Before the middle ages it was permissible for Catholic priests to have many wives and mistresses (concubines). But with fears for protecting Church possessions from inheritance Pope Pelagius I made new priests agree children could not take over Church property.

In 1022 Pope Benedict VIII banned marriages and mistresses for priests and in 1139 Pope Innocent II voided all marriages of priests and all new priests had to divorce their wives. This had nothing to do with morality, multiple women for males had long been the norm since before biblical times, but it was about MONEY!
