The eastern catholic churches allow married priests.
True.. you have to be married before ordination though.
In the mid seventies, the local Catholic priest was married to a lovely blonde woman, and had 3 small boys. I had to ask him how this worked.
He told me he was already married and had one child when he entered the priesthood.
He was a great guy. Very funny and friendly.
One Sunday afternoon,I was working at the local Safeway.
There was a woman checking out. He wheels up with a buggy loaded with beer. Still wearing his collar.
The woman did a couple of double takes at him. He smiled and said,” Oh, don’t worry Mam, we are just have a church picnic.” I though she was going to fall over.
