Married deacons is one thing. Even I don't have a problem with that. But married priests, no -- unless they are former Anglicans or Orthodox priests who have converted to Catholicism. People flock to parishes that are orthodox.

Why is it dandy to accept married Protestant ministers into the Catholic priesthood, but not married Catholic men?
