"Celibacy of the clergy continued to be praised as an ideal, although it was not enforced legally and effectively until the time of Hildebrand (Pope Gregory VII, 1073-85)."
Ref-0063, p. 224. "A monastic model of priesthood. . .emerged in the early Middle Ages, pushing the priesthood toward even more of a castelike existence within the Church. This movement reached its apex with the imposition of celibacy in the twelfth century as a universal requirement for priests of the Latin rite." Richard P. McBrien, Catholicsm, (New York: Doubleday, 1981), 870, cited by Mal Couch, The Power of the Catholic Priesthood,

That the gifts will cease is clearly taught--the disagreement is over when? "The cessation of the gifts of apostleship and prophecy is not based upon 1Cor. [[13:8-11|bible.67.13.8]], since that is dealing with the cessation of the gifts only with the Rapture of the Church."
Ref-0067, Summer 2000, Questions and Answers. "The 'perfect'is not the completion of Scripture, since there is still the operation of those two gifts [knowledge and prophecy] and will be in the future kingdom (cf. Joel [[2:28|bible.29.2.28]]; Acts [[2:17|bible.65.2.17]]; Rev. [[11:3|bible.87.11.3]]). The Scriptures do not allow us to see 'face to face'or have perfect knowledge as God does (v. 12). The "perfect" is not the rapture of the church or the second coming of Christ, since the kingdom to follow these events will have an abundance of preachers and teachers (cf. Is. 29:18; 32:3,4; Joel [[2:28|bible.29.2.28]]; Rev. [[11:3|bible.87.11.3]]). The perfect must be the eternal state, when we in glory see God face to face (Rev. [[22:4|bible.87.22.4]]) and have full knowledge in the eternal new heavens and new earth. . . . Paul uses a different word for the end of the gift of languages, thus indicating it will 'cease' by itself, as it did at the end of the apostolic age."
Ref-0089, n. 1Cor. [[13:8-10|bible.67.13.8]] "If the voice of the verb here is significant, then Paul is saying either that tongues will cut themselves off (direct middle) or, more likely, cease of their own accord, i.e., 'die out' without an intervening agent (indirect middle). . . . The implication may be that tongues were to have 'died out' on their own before the perfect comes. . . . The dominant opinion among NT scholars today, however, is that παυσονται is not an indirect middle. The argument is that παυω in the future is deponent, and that the change in verbs is merely stylistic. If so, then this text makes no comment about tongues ceasing on their own, apart from the intervention of 'the perfect.' There are three arguments against the deponent view however. First if παυσονται is deponent, then the second principle part (future form) should not occur in the active voice in Hellenistic Greek. But it does, and it does so frequently. Hence, the verb cannot be considered deponent. . . . But this is not to say that the middle voice in 1Cor. [[13:8|bible.67.13.8]] proves that tongues already ceased! This verse does not specifically address when tongues would cease, although it is given a terminus ad quem: when the perfect comes."
Ref-0129, p. 422. "One of the first direct references to the early-church belief regarding the cessation of the prophetic gifts is in the Muratorian Fragment, which most modern scholars now date around A.D. 170. This work contains the oldest existing list of the canonically accepted NT books. . . . The work refers to both apostles and prophets, stating explicitly that the number of prophets "is complete," indicating an end to prophetic expression." F.
