When I was coming up, once we were postulants we couldn't get married w/o our bishop's okey-dokey, so it wasn't like we treated the issue lightly, at least in my diocese. But, who knows, things are different from diocese to diocese and you'd have to wonder about guys who at this late date were going for Pepsicola ordination.
Many dioceses already have married (former Anglican) priests who have converted to Catholicism. I don’t really see that anything, other than an open invitation by the Pope, has changed.
Am I wrong here?
I am not familiar with the current Anglican approach to divorced priests. It seems only right, from a Catholic perspective, that married seminarians and/or fully ordained priests, go through the normative process to ensure the marriage is solid. A divorced priest would present a scandalous situation in the Catholic Church. Does that make sense to you?
