Somehow I think that my name got associated with stating that the Catholic church does not allow married priests. I don't recall saying that and I don't recall even addressing the issue. I went through my posting history looking for that comment and can't find it.

Your post 4757 this thread, addresses this issue:

So, all the priests can now go out and get married? And priests entering the priesthood can get married and do not have to take a vow of celibacy?

It certainly appears that you are questioning that the Church has married priests. Perhaps I am mistaken...

No, it’s questioning whether the Catholic church allows priests to marry, which has already been addresses.

MD has made it clear just in recent posts that under certain extenuating circumstances that married priests have been permitted but that it is not the norm and that they are not permitted to marry or remarry once they are priests.

The RCC’s policy is for a celibate priesthood, which is pretty generally known.
