Other Christian denominations...not so weird. I hear about ministers getting married all the time. I'm just used to that. Ughh..I won't even attempt to explain.
Are the Catholics the only Christians that don't allow priests to marry?
I believe so. Also, Rabbi's are not part of the christian faith if thats what you ment. If not then disregard this

In my religion, the leaders are people from the congregation. In order to get to heaven, marriage is required. So, we don't have any leaders who AREN'T married. That's why it's weird to me.

Yeah, I know.
I was just wondering about non-Christian religious leaders.

I think Rabbis can marry. But I'm probably wrong, considering I'm basing this on the fact that Krusty's father was a Rabbi.

But yeah, I'm nearly 100% sure rabbis can marry since marriage is considered a must for men in Judaism

If I remember correctly from world religions class, they can yes. Orthodox jews are very strict about members of the opposite sex though. They cannot be left alone in the same room with each other and such. Also the marriages are usually arranged. Just thought I'd share. *leaves*
