If you can become a Catholic priest even if the Catholic Church says no, then I want to be a priest.
I’m not Catholic. I’m married. I have kids. But I’ve always wanted to wear a purple robe.
Abracadabra! I’m a priest!
Anybody want to get married? I’ll do it for $25.

It didn't happen in the Roman Catholic Church, of course. Or even in something called the "Ecumenical Roman Catholic Church (not affiliated with Rome or the Pope)," for that matter. But you just described how Reverend Al Sharpton became and ordained minister.
Jeeze, even Jim McGreevey is going to have to put in a few years studying wicca at seminary school before the Episcopalian Church lets him put on a purple robe and marry faggots.
I'm holding out for Bishop. I'm not sure I could support my family as a RC priest, but those Bishops seem to have it pretty good.
