Pope John Paul II speaks on priestly celibacy

I had the privilege and blessing of briefly meeting Pope JPII in July 1993, as shown in this video, when I travelled as a helper with a group of disabled people by Across Jumbulance.

@CircusofPython Paul was not married, but he was not anti-marriage, actually, most of the apostles were married men, even Peter.

@PLISKEN12 You took the verse out of context. St. Paul was speaking of the false teachers who were abundant in the communities of ancient Church who command things that the Apostles never commanded. He wasn't speaking about priestly celibacy, which was an idea that he himself embraced (St. Paul has shown himself to be anti-marriage in general in some of his epistles).

Also, St. Paul and Jesus were both celibate. So we can assume that celibacy for God's sake is holy.
