In retrospect, it was poor judgement (IMVVHO) to dismiss any priest or religious who married after V II.
Married men obviously would not prevent homosexual liasons. But if the ten thousand or more Catholic heterosexual priests who left the priesthood because they married a woman were still priests (or, by now, seminary directors and bishops), the overwhelming influence of gay priests would be both lessened and more in th open when and where it occurred.
I knew one of those men, who died just last year. He was still feeling his welts from those days. He said he was treated very badly by the Church, assurances having been given previously. He married a nun of his acquaintance, and they remained married even though he had to give up his faculties and she had to leave her order.
Both of them, however, remained observant Catholics, he until his dying day.
Any idea how many of those "ten thousand or more" who left to get married ended up getting divorced?
