If you are a married Anglican priest and cross the tiber it makes no sense to a) dump your wife, b) divorce her, c) do anything else goofy. The R.C.’s also take older catholic married men into the seminary. It’s the younger unmarried men who are most affected by the celibacy issue. Even R.C. laity aren’t aware of the finer details. (They honestly don’t care either)

Not really, unless you're referring to either (a) the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches, which ordain married men, at least in their traditional territories; or (b) a situation like Rev. Steenson's -- a married former Protestant clergyman who's given a special dispensation to seek ordination to the priesthood.
