“Pastors” is a word which includes Protestants. Catholic pastors are priests with resposibility over a parish. No Catholic priests can be married, if that’s what you meant.
No, I know that priests cannot marry. I just thought that the Catholic Church allowed some men who were already married, perhaps, who felt a desire towards the ministry, to become a “pastor” of a congregation...to tend to the flock, to preach sermons...to do everything but administer the eucharist.
I thought I knew someone who knew someone who had done this. I could be very wrong.
At any rate, I missed the fact that they called this guy “Father” in this article. My bad.
” No Catholic priests can be married, if that’s what you meant.”
Unless they were married while they served as Episcopalean priests and then converted. Then they are allowed to remain married - but they don’t get their own parish.
Incorrect.
