I found out a few years ago that the priest who married my wife and I was defrocked. His crime? He became involved with a WOMAN.
I couldn’t help but think if it were only decade or two ago, and he got caught molesting some of the altar boys, the Church would have simply covered it up and transferred him to another parish.
The Church really does need to rethink its policy on compulsory clerical celibacy. There is NOTHING in the Bible mandating such a draconian policy. To the contrary, the Bible permits married priests in both the Old Testament and the New testament.
Guessing that you are NOT Catholic, but your wife is.
