Yes, Priests should be permitted to marry for the following reasons:

1. It is unnatural for a person to go without sex and presents constant temptation. If you spend all of your time fighting temptation, when do you counsel individuals and how long before you give into temptation?

2. Priests must counsel people about marriage. How can you counsel someone about marriage when you've neither been married nor can you marry?

3. Ministers are married and provide well for their churches. The wife of a minister is often a choir leader or provides some other church function that can help out the female population in the church. Since fewer woman are becoming Nuns, this could be very important we females. I haven't seen a Nun in my community in years and I really don't feel like talking to my Priest about female problems.

Therefore, Priests should be married for their own Spiritual Health, to better assist the Parish (religious community), and to provide someone for Female parishioners to have a role model and/or someone to communicate with about female problems.
