Married and relationship with a couple is something common inall parts of the world everybody needs to be love. Love is something to share with a person that you think is important for you. When a priest made hisvow of celibacy he is renouncing to everything that have relation with this. He is accepting to live like Jesus of Nazareth and serving god and thereligion.
Few days ago the priest Alberto Cutie made a declaration that he is having a relation with a girl and breaking his vow of celibacy. This declarationmade a scandal in the Catholic Church.
