Sorry, I had no idea where to put this, and I had to tell you after I learned this.
Yes people, there are priests who are married! Apparently there are about 8 of them in Canada alone, who knows how many more are actually out there. And how do I know this? Because my Husband had supper with two of them last night at a Seminarian dinner.
Apparently there are certain circumstances in which the Pope will allow a married man to become a priest. The one my husband was talking with was once an Anglican minister and then converted.
This, of course, opens the whole 'should priests be allowed to marry' question again. And I say YES!
