We know Jesus wore sandals, does that forbid priests form donning wellies?  The whole thing is so daft.

Context, Martin?     After all, for one thing the weather in Palestine, even today, is different to what it is here or in other parts of the world, and secondly, when was rubber first made into wellies?

As for celibacy, there is nothing wrong with it - and it has been practised for centuries - if not millenia - so I see nothing odd about the possibility of Jesus being celibate/unmarried.  Furthermore, if Jesus was God as well as human, as many Christians believe, what message would his getting married give to others?  These members of my human family are more important than anyone else, perhaps?
