Thomas Williams, the onetime public face of the disgraced Legion of Christ religious order who left the priesthood after admitting he fathered a child, is getting married this weekend to the child's mother, The Associated Press has learned. The bride is the daughter of former U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Mary Ann Glendon, one of Pope Francis' top advisers.

I suppose they won’t be having a Catholic wedding, but you never know these days.I wondered about that. Thanks Doc.
If the priest has been properly laicized, and the woman doesn't have any other putative marriages, there is no reason why they couldn't be married.
The gal he is marrying is certainly not unattractive.
I did not say she was unattractive, and would not think she would be. The couple would not “match” otherwise.
Who is Ms. Lev, btw?
The bride-to-be.
Oops. My mistake. I was over anxious to defend Glendon regardless of the details of the daughter. I see now.
Are you two aware of the 6th and 9th Commandments?
“Big mistake on her part. He broke his last commitment and he’ll cheat again.”
Certainly a higher risk of cheating with his track record. Of course it was pretty gross of her to have an affair with a priest. Wonder if her other kids were fathered by priests as well.
this is not going to end well
Their son has Downs Syndrome.
If he had really put her first in the best sense, he would have kept his hands off of her.
Didn’t say you did. You commented on the fact that he is a good-looking guy. I simply stated that she is not an unattractive woman after finding a few unposed pictures of her; nothing more.
If he had really put her first in the best sense, he would have kept his hands off of her.
Big mistake on her part. He broke his last commitment and he’ll cheat again.>>>
Right, them lovim and leavim gals is much smarter.

The Church recruiting young people to help run the Church at an age when they are not mature enough to know what they want, much less what they can do.
The shame, if there is any lies in the religious society who care nothing about common sense or right or wrong but only pomp and prestige.
The man most likely had good intentions and how long did he fight his natural inclinations before he gave into them just because he was bound to his commitment to the Church.
Yes he should have quit the Church first, but the Church should either stop the unmarried Priests rule or quit recruiting men too young to even know any thing about it.
At least it’s a woman.
There is so much wrong with your statement I don’t know where to begin
It sounds to me like it was the woman who wanted to horrify and mortify her mother by screwing a priest.
