The experiment with married episcopal priests who've converted has, from all appearances, been an overwhelming success.
It would be nice if the American Catholic Church didn't have to take whatever comes along (as long as the guy's single) for this sacred ministry.
One reason ordinary priests of a diocese were required to be celibate (i.e., unmarried) was to prevent them from passing church livings and property onto family members.
Members of religious orders were (and are) required to take vows of Celibacy AND Chastity. Maidenly modesty forbids further public exposition of the point.
When married Lutheran and Anglican clergy become Catholic priests, they are of course, allowed to keep their wives.
