I'll bet the Catholic church will never make a move for sainthood for anyone who was married in the priesthood.

Sainthood is one area where many of the churches restrictions fall away. There have been many married saints from the church itself (St. Peter, St. Siricius, St. Felix III, S. Hormisdas, St. Silverius, St. Agatho). There have been numerous other married and female saints from the laity over the centuries who have been so ordained without any kind of challenge to either their sex or marital status.
