And yes, in essentials unity, unity in the One Catholic and Apostolic Church (Western, Eastern, Oriental or Assyrian). This seems to fit The Church to a T.

You do realise that in terms of non-essentials we'd put this as married men becoming priests or not. The Catholic Maronite rite allows married men to become priests, as does the Catholic Syro-Malabar, the Orthodox, the Orientals, the CAtholic Syro-Malankara etc.

Bachelor priests are not allowed to get married and married priests are not made bishops in any of these and neither are the monks married. These are non-essentials, but the rites have the same dogma, the same creed.

Does your grouping believe in everything in the Nicene Creed (ok, ok, I know you don't agree to the One Holy and Catholic Church, but let's put that aside and use the term "catholic" with a small "c"). Does it?

Offcourse, I believe most believing protestants would also agree. It is certainly a summation of scriptural doctrine.
