Kosta, you're getting sloppy: priests cannot marry, nor can deacons, nor even subdeacons in the Slavic reading of the canons. Married men may be ordained to any of those orders (with the consent of their wives), but may not be consecrated bishop unless they are widowed or they and their wife agree to separate and embrace monastic professions (as was the case with Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow and his wife).
I'm quite certain you actually know all this, but you should be more precise when describing the discipline of the Church to those who do not.
You are absolutely right. I stand corrected. I should have seen this. One must be married before being ordained or appointed. The NT does not say that a priest may marry, but be a husband of one wife already.
