infact he might be considered a little off if he didn't have kids.

Perfect God Perfect Man.

The Man part would it be normal. Not like its lowers a person to get married and have kids. Infact some might think it makes a person better.

Honest Christians should not be offened by the idea. If it's true great, if it's not Great.

i agree that it shouldnt make any difference if he was married or not, but millions of priests, pastors, etc., teach that he was single.

i believe part of the reason priests must remain celibate is that they are trying to emulate jesus.

and i dont know how literal they are about nuns being "married" to jesus, but if that actually has real meaning in the church, i'm sure that if it was revealed that he was "already married," it might change things. (then again, if nuns are all married to jesus, doesn't that make him a polygmist?)

in practical terms, if priests didnt have to be celibate and single, they might not have the recruitment and sexual dysfunction problems that many of them seem to have now.

... not an emulation of Jesus, but a conscious choice to abstain, etc.

i think.
