      I like other branches of Christianity because they would actually allow you to marry. Catholics would prohibit marriage for church workers because it’s too expensive to support that

        It wasn’t about the expense as the church was incredibly wealthy. It was about power.

        Much of the clergy was younger sons/daughters of aristocratic families. The church wanted to maintain their political power and property. They had an issue with the priests creating dynasties in regions and the central church losing power.
