Or, the king of them all, celibate priests.
Which is a perversion (by the Catholic church I believe, but maybe it
began outside of the Catholic church) of what Paul told the churches (to
be specific, I believe it was in his letter to the Corinthians, or the
church of Corinth). Christ and God never said the head of a church can't
have sex or be married. He said the head of a church should devote all
his time to the church. He also said that if he has (to say it nicely)
human needs, he should get married.
Christianity as a whole does not teach celibacy.

Well put. It even says that leaders in the church are to be the husband
of one wife. I think this was addressing polygamy, but it definitely
addresses the marital issue among the clergy.
