Unwitting, married, and male theologians will help formulate technical "proofs" for these popularizers, but it's not the single men who are pushing in books, articles, and videos the theological theory that celibacy is a universal and net positive gift for all historical ages and marriage necessarily prevents one from properly serving God.
Edit: I should clarify that I'm referring strictly to what is happening in the Protestant camp. Rome and the East have their own issues regarding celibacy and sexual ethics, but for entirely different historical and theological reason from what is going on in Protestantism in the last fifty years.
