Prove it. This is a lie. Fr. Pacwa was speaking about this very subject last night on EWTN and he challenged someone to prove this as a fact. It is a bold faced lie of the left.
This is a mad made rule. In fact, there is a loophole; a married protestant minister who converts to Catholicism may become an ordained priest.
This is not a loophole. Since you don't know the nature of the Sacrament of Holy Orders you are terribly misinformed. A priest can be ordained if he is married prior to being a priest not the other way around. Anyway, it is a discipline and an ancient discipline at that. Go back to around 300-400 AD and read some of the documents of the Church councils back then and understand.
If the church allowed priests to marry, many good priests who’ve been excommunicated would never have left and would be still serving the good work of the Catholic church.
Please back this up with data. Secondly, there is a permanent ordained Diaconate in the Church that can be married. They can do many of the duties of a priest except consecrate the sacred species and hear confession for example.
