Well, Sink, I have to demur on that, because I know one personally. I shan't mention his name or parish, since all the action is in the past by several decades, and he'd rather not become a focus of controversy again. Granted that it hasn't happened much; still, it has happened. What makes it particularly poignant is that this priest left the Church and became an Episcopalian minister specifically because he wanted to marry -- and the Church recruited him back anyway.

You can renounce your faith, or renounce your wife, and still be a Catholic priest.
