  • To say that only celibate priests can be highly committed to God is to say that popes, bishops, and priests who had families in the first thousand years after Christ (including Peter) were less committed to God. Research has found that celibate ministers are not more committed than non-celibate ministers. Please see

    Swensen, Don. 1998. "Religious differences between married and celibate clergy," Sociology of Religion. 59, 1 (spring).
