Protestant priests have married since the reformation (Luther married). So in the mostly protestant Northern and Western Europe, and in the mostly protestant US, there was no celibacy requirements for 4-500 centuries.

- flexie 5y agoAlmost, yes. It happened gradually over decades, and I would assume that all unmarried priests weren't replaced right away.
