Clergy converted from other faiths can receive a dispensation and, but it's not frequently done.

The Worcester Diocese recently ordined a priest who was married but got a divoce via annullment. I think he had children, too. They even quoted his ex-wife in the diocesian newspaper saying, "he always wanted to be a priest."

I think he was already in his 5th or 6th year of seminary by the time Bishop McManus took over...so I just shrugged my shoulders on that one....at least he likes girls...an improvement for a diocese that still sends their priests to the Pink Palace in Baltimore. (reference the book Goodbye Good Men.)
