There's a Melkite Rite Catholic Church near me. Both its pastors were/are married (one is now deceased) and both converted from Episcopalianism. The website is about 10 years out of date.

The allowance of married clergy was part of the union agreements between Rome and the Orthodox who became Catholics. We are only reclaiming our tradition.

If Rome wants union with the Orthodox a good starting point would be to recognize the self-governance of the Eastern Catholic patriarchates apart from the Roman curia.

Hence the difference in normalizing priests already married. See the post immediately above this one.
