Yes and Humane Vitae is reformable, too.

Do you think Humanae Vitae is reformable?

That doesn't make rejection of the Pope's writings any less grave an error for amateurs.

The Pope writes against allowing married Catholic men to be priests, but allows married Protestant converts to jump the fence and be ordained.

Give me a logical explanation for that, other than "well, the Pope says so."

A greater spiritual good is served.

This is not inconsistent with Eastern Catholicism which you have cite as an example of a married priesthood. A married Eastern rite priest could become a Latin rite priest, as well I believe. There is nothing inconsistent with this practice.

The Latin rite is only exceptional in not letting a married man become a priest. All rites don't let a priest marry.
