But a news story that appeared in the Pittsburgh Gazette(?) about nine months ago calls that type of arrangement into question. One of these married priests was profiled, and it was implicit that he was on the edge of burn-out. It was explicit that his family was unhappy with the situation -- his responsibilities made it impossible for him to be home more than minimal amounts of time. His wife and children were suffering as a result.

Interesting, but anecdotal.

I know three married Episcopal priests in the Ft. Worth diocese, and they, and their families, are ecstatic at the support they've received and in being in the Catholic Church.

Ask the priest and his wife if they would return to the Episcopalian Church.

Interesting but anecdotal. To coin a phrase.
