Should unmarried priest solve marital issues?

I recieve lots of critism from protestants who insist priests have no buisness resolving marital issues since they are unmarried. This article aims at explaining certain facts WHAT QUALIFIES ONE TO TEACH? knowledge qualifies one to teach Not neccesarily marital experience.a 35 year old boy can be a profesor as long as it is proven he is knowledgeable in that field.. MUST KNOWLEDGE ARISE OUT OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE? no. A wise man must not commit a mistake to learn. He learns from others experience. Having made the clarification? Let me go further to explain this ARE PRIESTS KNOWLEDGEABLE yes. Priests didnt fall from sky.they have family.they learn from their parents. Secondly, priests are trained. They undergo theoritical training on family issues. They are lectured on marriage counsellin by married parents with over 20 years marital experience..in some cases,priest are made to live with families. DOES PERSONAL EXPERIENCE REALY MATTER? if yes, are soccer referees ex players? Must judges be criminal before they can convict thieves? must doctors suffer from all ailment before diagnosing them? having pointed out these, let me add that it takes one in a neutral position to give a candid opinion on an issue. a married person tends to be biased. an unmarried person is not biased. let me leave you all with this quote ONE WHO CANT TEACHES ONE WHO TEACHES CANT
