Unlike Catholicism, Greek Orthodoxy permits priests to marry.

Spar...I think Orthodox priests must be married before ordination, otherwise they cannot be married.

I thought that was a given. Some Latin Catholic's can also become priests if married before hand but they have to remain celibate in the marriage, which is not required of Greek Orthodox of the Greek Catholic Uniates.
