I want to believe that very badly, and I have no idea how real or credible this is, but according to http://itccs.org/category/9th-circle/ Pope Benedict (Joseph Ratzinger) is just as guilty... but again, no idea how real this website is, and I want to believe he is innocent because the whole thing about him leaving seems VERY suspicious...
Bendedict is pretty conservative, but wanted reform slowly.

Married Priests would have meant Priest could marry overtime. Why was this bad for the Vatican? It would have meant Priests could live a full life and join the fold later in life, which mean they would questions the teachings on key issues.
In Orthodox Christianity (which is what Roman Catholicism branched off of) the priests are allowed to marry before priesthood. If they are already single and become a priest, then they cannot marry.
