What if my husband decided he wanted to be a priest?

Was he an Anglican Priest and if so would he be willing to take a sizable pay cut along with very limited career potential to be ordained in the Latin Rite?

No. But assuming he was willing to give up his present career to be a priest, then what, precisely, makes a former Anglican or Episcopal priest an exception to the celibacy requirement, as opposed to every other man?

"career potential"

A priest is never to be into careers, he's a VICTIM with Christ.
