Not wrong.

For all unmarried, not only priests, chastity constitutes total sexual continence.

We need holy, not worldly, priests.

For what it’s worth I believe churches should encourage leaders or anybody else to abstain if able. But if they can’t keep their pants on then get married. (1st Corinthians 7:1-9)

According to 1 Timothy 2-5:

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre, but patient, not a brawler, not covetous. One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
