i don't get it. the Church ordained this guy?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Yes, he was a married Episcopal priest, and is now an ordained Catholic priest.

Seeing the history and theology of celibacy in such strong terms as he does, Iwonder if he and his wife are, by mutual agreement, living in continence?

[wideawake]

The Church opines that it is an undue hardship for a Protestant pastor who converts to Catholicism to lose his career upon conversion.

Therefore, the Church permits his ordination just as the Church ordains married men as priests for the Byzantine and Ukrainian Catholics.
