I’ll be interested to see how they handle the married bishops in TAC. Will they be grandfathered with the proviso that future bishops in the Prelature be celibate? Or will there be an ongoing exemption? Even the Orthodox require celibacy for bishops. Of course many of the apostles were apparently married, although it is unclear if they lived chaste lives after their ordination...

I doubt that the married bishops will be grandfathered in.

Just relating to the Orthodox where a priest may be married, but in being married he more or less forfeits the bishopric office.
