These are 2 separate issues. Women "Priests" are a clear violation of scripture and can never be permitted -never, ever, ever, period, no discussion. If your church ever ordains one, LEAVE!
However -- as several Catholics have explained here at FR -- there are no inherent theological barriers to ordaining married men as priests; the Pope could change that any time if he felt it prudent to do so. It's his call, however, and not the diocese.
Yes, that is true to a certain extend. Yes, it is true that in the past priests were married. However, bishops were usually not married. This tradition has changed for a number of reasons and celibacy has been the norm for over a thousand years. I don't have a problem with "married priests"; however, I will obey Rome. Period. End of story.
I also "personally" believe Rome is correct in denying priests to marry, at least at this present time. I could imagine them allowing it at another time, but not now. Why? Well because the reason why it is being demanded is because our present age has decreed that the end all and be all of human experience is sexual fulfillment. Thus, priests must be allowed to marry because they couldn't possibly be happy otherwise.
