isn’t that a disservice to Roman Catholic priests who are not allowed to be married?

It caused tensions at a parish in Texas. The lifelong Catholic priest wanted to be married, and resented the fact that the new priest was married. The lifelong Catholic eventually married his girlfriend and now leads services at a local school.

Envy of another's lot is fraught with peril. Fulfilling one's duties generally is the better choice.
