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.

Interesting. That's almost as bizarre as men who left, married, divorced, and are now being welcomed back.

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

Sort of like Peter, who (possibly) abandoned his wife and three times ... ah, we all know the story.
