An interesting thing in my diocese: we have a priest who was married, then divorced and annulled, and then became a priest (a late vocation). I had no idea that was allowed and had never heard of it before.

In my former diocese, the bishop (who was the #3 ranking bishop in the church in terms of date of consecration) divorced his wife of three decades, annulled his own marriage, then remarried a divorced woman on Palm Sunday and honeymooned out of the US on Easter Sunday. So much for his “headship” of the diocese and for his flock and for the teraching of Holy Scripture. I left the Episcopal Church shortly thereafter.
