former Anglicans can be married Priests in the Catholic Church, but not current Catholics? I don’t understand their position...

The Anglicans go through severl years of theology at a seminary before they are ordained as a Catholic priest. In other words “grandfathered in.” If their wife dies they cannot marry again, but must remain celibate.

Their position is that they are against divorce MORE THAN being for celibate priests ... :-) ...
