Convert priests, ordained to the Catholic priesthood, are Catholic priests.
Is that pretty clear?
1 Corinthians 7: 32-33 But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord: how he may please God. But he that is with a wife is solicitous for the things of the world: how he may please his wife. And he is divided.
No, that isn't pretty clear.
Catholic convert priests cannot be married and still be Roman Catholic priests.
Anybody out there able to confirm this for me? I never heard of any dispensations that allow convert priests to be married.
If I am wrong, I graciously stand corrected.
