Incorrect. There are married priests in the Eastern Catholic churches. There are no married "Roman Catholic" priests in the Eastern rite churches.

"The real question is, why is there a double standard for Roman Catholic priests?"

There is no doublestandard. The same thing is expected from every man who comes to the priesthood in the Roman Church as a single man.

Ok then, why is there a double standard for priests serving in Churches which recognize the authority of the Pope?
