Even before the ECUSA's problems of the last 18 months, there were many married Episcoopal priests who swam the Tiber. I am sure there will be even more over the next few months after the February Primate's meeting where I fear nothing will really happen.

on a lighter note...many years ago ( 70's)I had the good fortune to attend a holiday party where Cardinal DSpellman, then the RC Archbishop of NY was also prsent..he was a long time friend of the family..so this was a low-key evening..and it was unusual for me to see the cardinal in a more personal aspect. At the time there had been several articles in the paper about whether or not RC priests should be allowed to marry..the Cardinal was asked the question..what did he think?..I'll never forget..he took a sip of brandy, put down his snifter, and his cigarette, and said , in a fake brogue.."But what would I do when they want to get divorced?"
