Between the 3 main religions, Christianity, Judiasm, and Islam, the Roman Catholic demonination of Christianity is the only one that doesn't allow its clergy to marry as well as female priests.
I suspect the motive is not at all religious and that it comes from a strict business perspective. My take on it as that if the priest is not married and has no children then he has no heirs to take over anything and all of the assets he has goes to the diocese. The issuw with female priests comes from the negative portrayal of women in church history and also for the fact that they do not want their priests having a "family life".
Anyone else agree?
