I am Catholic and went to Catholic school...
What I originally typed was an incomplete statement, which I later corrected in another post. What I meant to say was that deacons must be married prior becoming a deacon, if they ever plan to be married - otherwise, if they are unmarried when they become a deacon, they are supposed to remain unmarried celibate.
Exactly, and thank you for taking the time to make that correction. Good clarification.
