In theory, the presence of married formerly-Anglican priests in Catholic holy orders should not be a problem. IIRC, 22 of the 23 autonomous particular Churches in communion with the Bishop of Rome have a centuries-old custom of married men becoming priests. All of them do --- Melkites, Maronites, Syriac, and so forth-- except for the Latin (Western) Church.

In practice, it might ruffle some feathers.

By the way, there's a good article here about how the professional ecumenists and liberal Catholic bishops opposed the welcome-home-Anglicans idea, and how our dear B-16 did an end-run around them. Good to see.

Yes, I agree, it should not be a problem, and yes, it will probably ruffle some feathers.

By the way, there's a good article... Good to see.

Thanks, I will check out the article.

Of course they did the last thing the liberals want is for the Conservative part of the RCC to grow. They have worked years trying to allow Satan a foothold in the church they will be d@med if it is slammed on him now! Someone in another topic asked if we Catholic could exchanged our liberals for their Conservatives and that isn’t a half bad idea!
