As the Flock Goes, So Flows the Priest

  Should priests get married
    It depends what they do

  If they counsel mostly marrieds
    then priests should be too

  While a church of congregants single
     ~ Be wary of priests who intermingle

Ministers do get married. As I understand it, Eastern European priests also marry. Roman Catholic priests do not marry because they are expected to devote all their time to Christ. I like your poem highlighting the occasional stray. Good job.
