My son is training to be a pastor. He is at the end ofv4 years of seminary including a year serving a congregation as a vicar. His wife has been a pillar of support for him through the process and an integral part of the congregation they served. She enriches his ministry not distracts from it. Catholics can have unmarried clergy if they want but saying marriage distracts from ministry age vice versa doesn’t fly
