Respectfully, I would see the Catholic Church adopt a "priests can be married" policy similar to the Orthodox Church. This is where a man who IS already married can take the final vows for priesthood. (if he becomese widowed he can not be remarried)

They would do this before any more radical moves for more priests. This is just an opinion and worth only as a speculation.

So would I. Some of the best priests in our diocese are the six Anglican converts, who are tremendous preachers and seem to have been able to integrate family life with parish ministry admirably.
