Celibate priests are a matter of discipline and not of doctrine. A true pope could remove this discipline at any point. There are some decent arguments for a celibate clergy, but I think the problems outweigh the benefits personally.

I believe the Roman church is the only one of the 23 sui iuris churches subject to the bishop of Rome who enforce this discipline.
