Maybe he can go for a sixth sacrament when some future Pope allows priest to marry!

Never happens in the Latin Rite. We want full time priests and not part time fathers.

Says who? A majority of Catholics under 60 years of age would like to see married priests.

It’s only the pre-Vaticn II diehards who cling to the idea of priestly celibacy.

Even after all the disgusting scandals of the past ten years.

Doesn't happen in any rite. Although some rites ordain married men, nowhere in the Catholic or Orthodox churches is a man permitted to marry after he is ordained to the diaconate.
