Our eastern brothers have another problem. Finding a woman who will endure the relative poverty of clerical life. Which is why so many Greek priests are involuntarily celibate.
Very true... The Catholic dioceses that have accepted married clergy converts as priests have to make great efforts to ensure that they are in positions where they can earn enough to support their families. This would be impossible if a larger percentage of priests were married.
Likewise, I'm not sure what the particular arrangements are for married permanent deacons, but I do know that many of them have 'day jobs.'
Compared to most Catholic Priests, Greek Orthodox Priests are very well compensated.
