No where, absolutely NO WHERE, do we find "mandated" continence or "mandated" celibacy as essential to the priesthood in Apostolic Tradition.
Celibacy, yes, is in Apostolic Tradition. But "mandated" celibacy, no, is not in Apostolic Tradition.
Celibacy v. mandated celibacy. There is a difference.
We cannot be more traditional than Tradition.
