If the Church were to change it's celibacy rule, how many times should a priest be allowed to divorce? Never? Once? Twice? Three times? Have those who advocate ending celibacy thought about this? If so, what are their thoughts about it? As we all well know, in the US, approx. 50% of all marriages end in divorce.

The Latin Church will NEVER change it's celibacy rule! There are married protestant ministers who convert to RC and are occasionally accepted into seminary and the priesthood. They may not remarry if their spouse dies.
