a) The Protestant Church follow after Martin Luther, meaning they do allow Priest who are not married to marry. They do not impose celibacy at all.
b) The Orthodox Church does not refute a celibate priesthood, that is after all why the priest-monks (monks that are also priests) exist. Celibacy is on a voluntary base and never to be forced upon anyone.
c) The Catholic Church does impose celibacy on its priest. Recently some of Eastern Catholic Church has allowed for their priest to marry. The Latin Roman Catholic Church on the other hand does not waver on this, the only exception would be if a non-Catholic individual decides to become a Catholic priest.

Luther when we first started was presented with one tremendously barrier. This barrier was Luther was only able to reach small number of people. All of a sudden there was a machine that was able to print numerous copies of books in a very short time. Now before this making one copy of a book would have taken a very long time due to they had to hand copy word for word to reproduce these books. This cased a high price for books and few people to read them. The printing press also called movable type, meant that those small number of people could turn into thousands upon thousands of people. This also meant that information became more available, which lead to more informed discussion, and greater amount of widespread criticism of the Church. Martian Luther began printing hundreds of pamphlets in German pointing out faults within the Church. He was printing more pamphlets than the Church which caused more and more individuals to follow the reformation movement. Not only due to the out numbering pamphlets, but also because the pamphlets were written in current language German for Luther and that meant the average individual could read it and connect to it more than the Latin pamphlets the Church was producing.

Emperor Constantine declared Christianity and its church legal status in the Roman Empire. He did this because he had a vision during battle that if he put a Christian symbol on his shield he would come victories. Constantine did end up winning and out of respect or maybe obligation he gave them legal status. He also restored some of the losses that the religion had undergone during its time of oppression. With this new legal status, the religion was free to move about the entire Roman Empire without any real barriers. With more and more people converting arisen a need for a council and the Nicea and the Nicene Creed. Emperor Julian did try to bring about the return of paganism/Greco-Roman religion but his efforts fell upon deaf ears. The next emperor, Emperor Theodosius IX made Christianity the official religion of the empire. Causing numerous people to convert by choice and force. With the Empire now backing the Church the religion began to flourish. With grand buildings and cathedrals, most on estates that these were erected on were once pagan temples. When it looked like the religion had become as big as it will become, the movement of the capital to Constantinople took place. Leaving prime opportunity for the church to gain even more power (i.e. all of Rome), lead to the solidification of a center Church for the religion. From the establishment of this center Church
