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.
Perhaps you are thinking of a deacon?
You are sorta right, but they aren’t called “pastors.” When a parish has no priest or religious to serve as its pastor, the highest-ranking person in the parish is called a “parochial administrator,” but by “highest-ranking,” I mean purely in an administrative role, not a spiritual role. Even if the parochial administrator happens to be an ordained deacon, he is still not called a pastor.
