At a small parish in Maine the priest left because he wanted to get married. His replacement?, a married episcopal priest! What an insult to the priest who left. I know several men, who would become priests tomorrow, if the church would allow it.

And the Church wonders why it has so little credibility among Catholics! Replace a priest who leaves to get married with a married priest!

The largest parish in the diocese of Fort Worth (over 6000 families registered) is staffed by a married pastor, a celibate associate, and two married deacons.
