Ageed. This guy should have sought permission to leave a long time ago. He has compounded his sin.
Given that there are married priests...probably more than a few...serving in "the West" and many,*many* more serving in eastern rite churches I think,at least,that all ordinary priests (but perhaps not Bishops,Cardinals,etc) should be released from their vows of celibacy and be allowed to marry.
The clearly inexcusable thing I spoke of was being so pigishly blatant.
