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.

The Latin rite is only exceptional in not letting a married man become a priest.

The Latin Rite is the only rite that will not allow a married member of its own rite become a priest, but will allow married men from other Rites and married Protestant converts become priests.

Could you tell me what, in your opinion, is the "greater spiritual good" served in this inequity?
