Catholism has a lot of mixture, therefore many of the traditions, rites and sacraments, are not to be found in the Bible, or in the ancient Christian doctrine even Paul mention it on 1st Timothy 4:1-3 1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;  2  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;  3  Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.  Hislop says that when the cult to Cibeles an acient babylon godess was established in Pagan Rome, it was established in its primitive form, with a celibate priesthood!!! *The two Babylons Alexander Hislop).\n\nSo my friend Celibacy is not a CHRISTIAN doctrine it has it's origin in pagan cults, and was introduced to the catholic church, and also fathom this How did the Apostle Peter alledglly the first Pope, had a mother in law??????  Even their first pope wasn't celibate right!!
