The Orthodox church has some priests who are married, and others who are celibate. Only the celibate ones can get promoted to bishops.

The same is true in many Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church.

On this issue, I wish the Roman Catholic Church would be more like the Eastern Orthodox Church.

On the other hand, the more we import married priests, the more we will look like the Orthodox Church. The continuing attack on the Episcopalian and Anglican Churches by liberal activists will keep sending conservative priests to other denominations.
