I explained the Anglican and the Orthodox priests in the post you are referring to.

How? Your first sentence was "married priests are a theological impossibility."

That is simply not true. Marriage is perfectly compatible with the priesthood theologically, since there are, and have been throughout the Church's history, married priests.

Women priests are a theological impossibility. Married men being ordained to the priesthood are not.

And, a married priest's marriage in no way becomes "moot" at any time.

Last post on this thread to you, lest I am accused of "baiting" you.

Historical occurence of married priests is not a theological argument.
