Protestant churches manage to support ministers and their families. Is this guy implying that Catholics are cheap and stingy? Apparently so. :) Are you a catholic? If so, then you know from looking at the church bulletin each week, why the RC Church can't possibly support a married priesthood.

Dear NYer,
Many parishes in our archdiocese could readily support married priests.
It is not a question of money.
It is a question of a worthwhile practice.
If celibacy is made entirely optional in the Latin Rite, it is likely to become rare. And the Latin Rite will have lost another treasure.
