Never say never.
It’s a manmade construct.
How about the Episcopalian married priests who are accepted into the Catholic Church? What kind of ceremony do they go through, if not re-ordination?
You missed Campion’s point. Even married Episcopalians who are permitted to try for ordination in the Church are required to promise that they will not marry again, should they be widowed (and of course, divorce and remarriage are obviously not in the cards, either).
Although men who are ALREADY MARRIED have been ordained, ALREADY ORDAINED men are never, and to the best of anyone's knowledge, have never been permitted to marry.
As for what happens to Episcopal men who become priests, the are not re-ordained. They are ordained for the first time. The Church doesn't recognize Episcopal (or generally, Anglican) “ordination” as imparting Holy Orders .
