He is a married priest being accepted into the Roman Catholic priesthood because he couldn't abide his church's sanction of homosexuality. Have I got that right?

Good thing he's not a woman priest. That would have complicated things.

Fr Richard John Neuhaus, a noted conservative Roman Catholic priest, was accepted into the priesthood after having a distinguished career in the Lutheran Church, and yes he has been married for many years. Like this Episcopalian, he left the ELCA as a matter of conscience, and responded to what he discerned to be a call.

I guess the RC Church has been getting complicated for some time while you weren't looking.
