Ok, so you demonstrate that it is a discipline right before denying that it is a discipline. I am confused:confused:

Also, the church has always had a celibate AND married priesthood. What changed was that in the Latin branch, the church introduced the discipline of NOT ordaining married men any more.

Your post makes it sound like celibacy itself arose suddenly in the clergy sometime in the 2nd millenium. That can be misleading.

Does this mean that prior to the Lateran Council that married priests lived with their wives as brothers and sisters? Not that familiar with this part of history.
