Kellie,
Let me end some 18 months of medieval-religion silence by welcoming you to
the list.
Whilst Claire has recommended my thesis -- the early drafts of which I
should think are still being used as doorstops, beam-padding, and/or
scratch paper in Nottingham -- it wasn't microfilmed, making inter-library
loan, um, problematic. Besides, I don't think I said all that much about
marriage and celibacy, except that one of the reformers I looked at, the
son and grandson of a priest, may have himself been married.
I should think that Bruce Venarde's "Women's Monasticism and Medieval
Society" (Cornell, 1997; now in paperback -- I'm sure that Bruce would like
me to point out that he was not responsible for the bright orange cover)
would be very useful to you; as would -- despite the fact that it was
published by the excreable Edwin Mellen Press -- Anne Llewellyn Barstow,
"Married Priests and the Reforming Papacy: The Eleventh-Century Debates"
(Lewiston, NY & Toronto: The Edwin Mellen Press, 1982), which focuses on
the Norman Anonymous.
I hope this helps -- my brain is somewhat addled by multiple sections of
world history at multiple institutions. Anyone know anything about
Ottoman/Safavid/Mughal political systems and/or Tokugawa Japan?

It sounds very interesting. You might want to get hold of a copy of
the following unpublished PhD thesis:
JMB Portar, Compelle Intrare: Monastic Reform Movements in
Twelfth-Century Northwestern Europe (University of Nottingham,
England) 1997.

I am currently working on my thesis on the monastic reform movement of the
10th, 11th, and early 12th centuries. I have narrowed my subject matter to
focus on the reforms concerning priestly marriage and celibacy. I am in the
process of selecting a specific primary source and focusing my work on that,
keeping in mind the larger issues.
